Windows 95 Install and Post-Setup Crashes (SUWIN, RUNDLL32, BSOD, Restart freezes)

[NorseIvan]

This issue was reported previously but closed and brushed off with a this isn't a UTM problem response. I didn't know if commenting on a closed issue would result in a fix so I posted here. No harm, no foul.

There is a Qemu patch that hasn't been pulled to work with the latest version of UTM 2.5.0 beta. This bug has been present since 4.0.0+ versions.

This allows Windows 95 to run without additional 3rd party fixes, both during setup and within the OS while changing certain drivers and settings. Installing and using Windows 95 is halted and crashes consistently without this fix. This fix also affects Windows 98 Installs and post setup changes as well.
