Comment:

 Unfortunately, this due to the way the Mac OS X support has to be
 implemented in qemu. To make it run as an app, the `main` function is
 replaced with a wrapper that acts as an event loop.

 In r118754 I split the cocoa and curses interfaces into conflicting
 variants. To get the curses interface now, please run the following
 commands. Note that this version will not support the graphical user
 interface at all.
 {{{
 sudo port selfupdate
 sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants qemu +curses
 }}}

 Another note: Although the curses interface builds and works for a simple
 test case for me, I could not get the monitor console (open with <Esc>2)
 to work properly. It always displayed black text on black background for
 me, so that the text could only be revealed with a selection in Terminal.
