Yeah, I tried the same qemu experiment on a development box running Ubuntu 8.10 and a VMWare VM running Ubuntu 8.10 and got the exact same response. So I figured it was something between MIC and Qemu.
I think this just goes to show a VMWare VM behaves pretty darn accurately as a dev box ;-). > I get the same response using qemu.
