Hi Nir,
I restarted the VM now so I can't provide more info until the next time.
I could try strace -p <pid> -f &> strace.log next time it hangs.
Could you just point me on how to obtain a dump with gdb?
Do I have to do anything special in order to catch the required contents?
For the idle vs stuck in a loop, I guess the VM has 4 children qemu threads, and one of
them was at 100%.
Thank you for your help,
--
Christophe

0% may be a deadlock, 100% a thread stuck in endless loop, but this is just a
wild guess.

You connected only to one thread. I would try to use -f to see all threads, or
connect with gdb and get a backtrace of all threads.
Adding Kevin to suggest how to continue.
I think we need a qemu bug for this.
