Hi,

I have Qemu 0.10.1 installed on my old Windows 2000 PC and I am running 
FreeBSD 7.2-RC1 i386 in it for some testing purposes. Today I realized 
that some cron task was not run at specified time nor some commands in 
endless loop.

This is simple example of strange behavior (written in tcsh shell)
root@firstbsd ~/# while 1
while?date
while?sleep 10
while?end

As you can see - the date command in not executed every 10 seconds.

Are there some settings (in FreeBSD guest or in Qemu itself) to fix this?
