Alas, no reaction whatsoever.
But I found a discussion on reddit where they had the same problem. The 
solution is thus to either remove the '-cpu host' or '-cpu max' argument 
and to replace it with '-cpu phenom'. Thus it's a workaround, not a 
structural solution.

I hope that developers will pick-up this issue.
