anita cannot install on amd64

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

I just updated one of my host systems to NetBSD amd64-6.99.17 (current 
as of 2013-02-22 at 20:08:51), and then re-installed all of my packages. 
In particular, qemu was updated from 1.2.0nb2 to 1.3.0, and py-anita was 
updated from 1.27 to 1.29.  (Numerous other packages were also updated, 
and all packages were cleanly rebuilt from pkgsrc as of 2013-02-27 at 
04:03:43 UTC.)

Using the exact same commands [see below], the older system loads and 
executes the qemu environment just fine.

However, the new/updated machine hangs at

        Option 1 will be chosen in 0 seconds.
        |

(Note that the | is the very first one displayed;  it never starts to 
"spin"!)

Typing a couple of Control-C at this point gives

^CTraceback (most recent call last):

Any and all clues greatly appreciated!




This is my invocation of anita:

# qemu-img create ./work/atf-results.img 10M
# anita --workdir ./work \
  --vmm-args "-drive 
file=./work/atf-results.img,index=1,media=disk,snapshot=off" \
  --disk-size 2048M --memory-size 256M \
  --sets kern-GENERIC,modules,base,comp,etc,misc,text,games,tests \
  install /build/netbsd-local/release/amd64/
