VirtualBox SegFaults / crash when resumed from standby

[Jerome Poulin]

If I suspend my virtual machine, then resume it, VirtualBox crashes and the machine appears as aborted. It could be a problem on my side, but anyway, here's a backtrace: Backtrace: ​http://ticpu.net:8080/~jerome/vbox-xp-resume-crash.7z

This was actually fixed some releases ago. Before you re-open this ticket please check the latest release 2.2.2.

I started my XP, did suspend while it was starting, resumed: OK. Windows XP fully started on desktop, in windowed mode, did suspend, resumed:

Failed to start the virtual machine Windows XP. Unable to restore the virtual machine's saved state from '/root/.VirtualBox/Machines/Windows XP/Snapshots/{45ac5550-e669-4bc7-8cf8-fa3415397d38}.sav'. It may be damaged or from an older version of VirtualBox. Please discard the saved state before starting the virtual machine (VERR_SSM_LOAD_CONFIG_MISMATCH).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole {9511bc54-15ee-4ddf-808e-472aba03809c}

VBox.Log for version 2.2.2 with matching add-ons and modules.

[Jerome Poulin]

I just attached the VBox.log file and the version of the bug note should be changed from 2.0.6 to 2.2.2, updated VBox, modules and add-ons.

I would like to clarify that when I got this error it was after hitting pause and then close and choosing save state. I had several snapshots already and tried reverting to a couple of them, but it does not fix the error, nor change the name of the .sav file it is referring to as having a problem. The details section says: Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole {9511bc54-15ee-4ddf-808e-472aba03809c}

I obviously can't change anything about my virtual machine because it is saved in a running state. I think that should have changed when I tried to revert to previous snapshots; so, that reversion appears to not be working. Yes, I am using version 2.2.2.
