Package: qemu
Version: 2.1+dfsg-7
Severity: normal

The following option is not recognized by qemu config file:
--------
[memory]
  size = "512"
--------

To reproduce, follow these steps:
* download a memtest image to run with qemu. I've used the live CD
  SystemRescueCD, that include memtest.
* Start qemu with the following command line:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -cdrom \
      cd_systemrescuecd-x86-4.4.0.iso --writeconfig a.txt
* In the boot menu select:
  Run system tools from floppy disk image -> MEMTEST
* Look that memtest correctly reports 512 MB of ram.

The previous qemu command line have created the "a.txt" config file,
based on the options used in the command line. So now you can run:
qemu-system-x86_64 -readconfig a.txt

For me the amount of ram reported by memtest now is 128 MB, the qemu
default, showing that the memory option got ignored.
