Description
VirtualBox 1.4.0 (closed source) on Gentoo Linux opens all files in my ~ directory (/home/patrick) when I trigger the "Show Log..." option from "Machine" menu in the VirtualBox GUI. This only happens after a virtual machine has been started and stopped.

Ok, this is what I do:
Power up the host, load the vboxdrv kernel module. Start up the VirtualBox GUI which has exactly one VM registered. If I press CTRL-L there, I get four log files in the viewer, namely VBox.log, VBox.log.1, VBox.log.2 and VBox.log.3. Now I press the "Start" button and do stuff in the VM. I shut it down, it shows "Powered Off" in the GUI. I press CTRL-L, get quite some disk activity, and after a couple of seconds the Log viewer opens with files from my ~ directory in the tabs. Screenshot: http://p173.de/s/1185188534.png. This log file, which resides in my ~ dir, seems to be a couple of days old, and it's the only one of its kind - why it's there, I don't know. I guess my VirtualBox installation is somehow screwed, due to having installed the open source version first, then uninstalled it and installed the closed source version.

All this is somehow related to a file called 2007-07-16-16-06-08.089-VirtualBox-14904.log which resides in my home directory. If it resides there, the problem occurs. If not, it does not. The content of this file is available here: http://rafb.net/p/b1VzNs75.html
Hope this helps with debugging...
