Interesting, I'll test ASAP, meanwhile please verify if a 2.6.16 guest kernel 
works fine at least on 2.6.15 host (as it does here). So we'll know that the 
semi-random segfault is a bug in 2.6.17-rc guests.

I've built all 2.6.16-rc releases to start doing binary search to insulate 
where was the host change.
