Something is seriously wrong here: When -daemonize is given, qemu not touch tty parameters at all. Thanks, /mjt FWIW, it has been present at least since version 0.10 of qemu, and still present in current 1.1 version. According to the Debian bug tracker, this has been fixed with this upstream commit: http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=ab51b1d568e02c80b1abf9016bda3a86dc1db389 ... so let's close this now.
