the same here.

Basically the same.

qemu-kvm                    0.12.5+dfsg-1


You aren't using vde, are you?

python and adduser are hardly relevant, libaio is only
relevant for block i/o and it does not change for quite
some time anyway, iproute and bridge utils are not
relevant either, because they're used to setup things
only, and they do it the same way regardless of version.
But it does not hurt to provide that info anyway :)

So the network config is:

 -net tap,fd=64,vlan=0,name=hostnet0

Good.

Oops.  So it still exits/aborts with lenny kernel.
Oh well.  But as far as I can remember, there were
indeed some issues with virtio-net in 2.6.26.  Ok.

I just installed a stock lenny guest here.
There, only kernel matters.

Were you able to reproduce this issue with 2.6.33 guest
kernel and using qemu-kvm 0.12.4 (the previous one) ?

Apparently.  I'll see if I can find the problem.

Please also show `ethtool -k eth0' output on the guest
in both cases.  If there's something turned on, like
e.g. generic segmentation offload (gso), turn that off
and retry.  I mean the guest that's crashing.

Meanwhile, I still can't reproduce the problem locally,
for whatever reason it never crashes for me.  Trying
harder... ;)

Thank you for the patience!
