---------------------------------------------------+--------------------
 After recent update from glib2 2.58.3_1 to 2.62.6_2 - QEMU tap-bridge
 networking stopped working: DHCP requests and replies from guest VM are
 seen on bridge0 interface, but on tap0 interface there are no replies
 (only the requests).

 The problem was reported also here -
 https://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=39828.

 Tried with qemu-6.1 and 5.2 versions: in both cases it works fine with
 glib2 @2.58.3_1 (and required libffi @3.3_1), while it fails with glib2
 @2.62.6_2 (and required libffi @3.4.2_2).

 As suggested at
 https://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?p=316408&sid=427623ba50fe49f3c5267a45f83fb1da#p316408
 the problem might be related to polling the device.

 Also, I noticed that qemu process always consumes 100% CPU even when the
 quest VM is idle. (Which supports the idea about some problem with polling
 the device.) Again, this is not observed with the previous glibc2 version
 2.58.3_1.
