VirtualBox crashes often

[chriz]

Host: Fedora 7 Guest: Windows 2000

Virtualbox crashes very often without an error message, even VBox.log doesn't seem to contain current messages (I attached it anyway).

I haven't found a pattern for the crashes yet. Sometimes it happens while working in the guest, sometimes it simply vanishes while idle.

Following the description in ticket #487 I was able to create a backtrace:

Core was generated by `/opt/VirtualBox-1.4.0/VirtualBox -comment vwin1 -startvm

Hopefully that helps finding the culprit. If you need more infos, please let me know.

Oops, the backtrace isn't readable very well.

Another try:
