VirtualBox.exe always crashes on Windows 8.1 guest reboot

[Petr Vones]

I have installed Windows 8.1 Client preview x64 and also tried to install the Guest Additions in Windows 7 compatibility mode. I know it is not supported but it is not supposed to crash the VirtualBox anyway.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new Windows 8 virtual machine
2. Use steps here ​https://blogs.oracle.com/fatbloke/entry/using_virtualbox_to_test_drive
3. Install Windows 8.1 Client preview
4. Install Guest Additions in Windows 7 compatibility mode
5. Restart guest

Expected: no crash and limited funcionality

Actual:

Faulting application name: VirtualBox.exe, version: 4.2.14.0, time stamp: 0x51c45cbc
Faulting module name: MSVCR100.dll, version: 10.0.40219.1, time stamp: 0x4d5f034a
Exception code: 0xc000041d
Fault offset: 0x000000000003c02a
Faulting process id: 0x13d0
Faulting application start time: 0x01ce7441f4a10b3e
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VirtualBox.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\MSVCR100.dll

The issue is always reproducible.
