.... I pkg-installed kqemu-kmod-1.3.0.p11_12 & qemu-0.11.1_18 for 
FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p5 & followed instructions on 
http://virtuallyhyper.com/2013/02/running-vms-on-freebsd-using-qemu-with-vde/ 
down to the point of installing a VM. The example installs a RHEL guest, 
I wanted to try WinXP, so I did 'qemu -cdrom ../../ISOs/winxp.iso -hda 
HDD.img -m 256 -boot d -localtime' from the directory containing the HDD 
image 'HDD.img'. The screen (rxvt-2.6.4_6 running stock csh) immediately 
grunged up & left itself in a grunged up state :-/. Is there a way to 
re-initialize the rxvt state after such antics, to get it to forget 
whatever grunged state the (failed, I killed it after ~45 min.) qemu 
process left it in ? TIA ....

P.S.: the qemu man page is also somewhat off/out of date, some of the 
options mentioned there don't work ....
