The address of the break point is arbitrary. The break point does not need to hit. So I chose 0 as the address in this bug report."""
reproduce = """1. Start QEMU using `qemu-system-i386 -m 512M -gdb tcp::1234 -smp 2 -cpu Haswell,vmx=yes -enable-kvm -serial stdio -drive media=disk,file=1.img,index=1 -drive media=disk,file=2.img,index=2 -S`
2. In another shell, start GDB using `gdb --ex 'target remote :::1234' --ex 'hb *0' --ex c`
3. See many serial output lines. The tail of the output is
