Yes, I am. Sorry, I missed the qemu_live_savevm_state call, which
saves the rest of the dirty pages, and explains why some migration
images are larger than oth

Thanks for the patches.
There is still the mystery of different file sizes for different
migration-exec commands, all files are "valid saved image".
It seems to me that some unmodified pages are being marked as dirty, and
are being saved twice (and later loaded twice).
I'm still chasing that.
I think I've (finally!) tracked it down. See the attached patches.
The main problem is this: when using "-monitor pty", all incoming
commands are terminated with CRLF even though they were sent with just
LF, probably because of the pty layer somewhere. When qemu's readline
gets CR and LF without
I've never encountered that problem.
I haven't used "exec" migration protocol too many times though.
I have not used libvirt too many times either.

migrate_write, which causes a segfault (and explains my truncated
images). Unfortunately I'm not at all familiar with this code, and
all the qemu

Actually, maybe that isn't the issue. I guess the migra
