Michael, it's fine to merge trivial block patches through your tree, but
can you please keep Stefan and me CCed anyway?

This specific patch isn't as trivial as it might look at the first
sight (in other words: it's wrong). The part that you probably missed is
that stderr isn't the real one when DEBUG is set:

    #undef stderr
    #define stderr STDERR
    FILE* stderr = NULL;

So now you have a lot of fprintf(NULL, ...), which obviously makes qemu
segfault as soon as you enable debugging for vvfat.
