Description
The VM config .vbox file somehow got corrupted. The machine was in "Saved" state, when I started VirtualBox I saw that it failed to start. I do not know whether it happened before I closed VirtualBox, or when I started it later (which is when I noticed it). I did not reboot the machine and there were no unusual problems with anything on the day.
Upon comparing a copy of the config I had, "<HardDisks>" section was removed, with data (there should be just 1 vdi attached), for some reason it left the closing tag "</HardDisks>" of the section.
I attach the log of when I last closed the VM (saved state). Also attached 2 vbox files, one what it should be and the other with corrupted XML bit.

Can't imagine how this happened - we use libxml2 for xml processing, and it gets a full xml tree representation which at the end is written out. libxml2 shouldn't be able to generate invalid XML...

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.3.2.
Did not mean to leave that as "major".. a very minor thing and may not be VirtualBox. This is just for the records.
