Checked on Windows 7 64bit, VBox 4.3.12 (r93733) official release:

Command "VBoxManage.exe clonehd file1.vdi file2.vdi --format VDI --variant fixed" works. There wasn't crash. Quickly created file2.vdi with maximum possible size of file1.vdi. Then was made some preparation in RAM, then chunks of data were put into the file2.vdi step by step.

Command "VBoxManage.exe clonehd file1.vdi file2.vdi --format VDI" works. There wasn't crash. Quickly created file2.vdi with small size. Then made some preparation in RAM, then put all data into the file2.vdi.

Command "VBoxManage.exe createhd test1.vdi --size 1024 --format VDI --variant Fixed" properly worked. no crash. 1Gb VDI file was produced.

One remark: There are some preparation\work with data in RAM. Thus, there is time when the command looks like hanging.
