cgpsmapper doesn't work inside VirtualBox -> fixed in SVN/1.4.2

Description
cgpsmapper is a software to create maps for GPSs. The observed problem is that when running it over Windows XP inside VirtualBox 1.4.0 it briefly opens a DOS window and then dies.
When I run cgpsmapper on Windows XP outside virtualbox a DOS window presents some help messages then a regular window with some help messages is presented. At this point I can interact with the software. This is the expected behaviour of cgpsmapper.
Having described exactly what's happening let me share my thoughts on what might be causing the problem:
cgpsmapper has an antipiracy hardware fingerprinting control. I believe cgpsmapper is trying to identify some hardware detail and is isn't accepting VirtualBox's answer.
It's important to stress that on a real machine it works and on VMWare is also works fine.

Fixed. Can't reproduce this problem with current svn HEAD (was reproducible with 1.4.0)
