Using vboxshell.py on Ubuntu_64 & VirtualBox 4.3.8r92456 crashes starting up

Description

I was actually trying to write a Python 2.7 (ActivePython 2.7.2) program on Ubuntu_64 13.10, but it crashes when doing appliance.read(PATH to ovf file).

The SDK was updated today as well.

I loaded the vboxapishell, and get the attached crash at startup

I get a similar crash with the XPCOM program, crashing with the same "double free or corruption" error message, on IAppliance.read(path)

I'm now trying to do the same thing with VBoxManage, and have gotten further, but prefer the finer control I have in Python.

I cannot reproduce your problem. Did you copy the SDK files to /usr/lib/virtualbox/sdk? Please don't do that. Just install the normal Ubuntu package from this website (it's named ...raring... but it works for Saucy as well), then start /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxshell.py.
