qemu-system-x86_64 is throwing GLib-WARNING **: custom memory allocation vtable not supported

I am trying to bring up the CSR100v (3.16.2S) image using the below howto, but get the below warning. As a result, step 6 prompt doesn't come and it boots into the router prompt.

Google says it is the bug on qemu. Is this a known issue you faced on eve.

I got it working.. Just need to ignore the warning message. Step 6 did not show up though.
