Description of problem:
From time to time my qemu disk images seem to get corrupted so that qemu can't open them anymore. It seems to start happening after I turn off a virtual machine using a disk through the "quit" command in qemu. Last time this happened when I tried to quit a machine that hasn't gotten to the point of loading the bootloader. The VM was at the boot device selection menu. I ran a "savevm name" command and then I ran the "quit" command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu.i386                                0.9.1-6.fc9
kvm.i386                                 65-7.fc9

I've noticed this happen with qemu in Fedora 7 as well as in Fedora 9.

How reproducible:
Now that the disk image is "corrupted", I can reproduce the error all the time. However, I don't know how to reproduce the "corruption".

Steps to Reproduce:
1. qemu-kvm -hda /local/virtual-machines/debian.disk -m 300
  
Actual results:
qemu: could not open disk image /local/virtual-machines/debian.disk

Expected results:
Qemu should load this image without problems since it was not modified by external programs.

Additional info:

Here is the last bit of the output I get from `strace qemu-img info /local/virtual-machines/debian.disk`:
