The QEMU 0.10.0 release (and possibly other 0.10.x) has a bug where
it sometimes/often forgets to display the initial monitor greeting
line, soley printing a (qemu). This in turn confuses the text
console parsing because it has a '(qemu)' it is not expecting. The
confusion results in a negative malloc. Bad things follow.
This re-writes the text console handling to be more robust. The key
idea is that it should only look for a (qemu), once it has seen the
original command echo'd back. This ensures it'll skip the bogus stray
(qemu) with broken QEMUs.
ACK. Works like a charm now.
