I am pretty sure that VirtualBox was far more likely to experience the
triple fault issue in #3399 fixed in r32118. I have tested it over here
and the case was certainly hit with either version of VirtualBox (3.0.2
and 3.0.4) when reverting r32118. The outcome of said problem would be
hangs of the VM inside VirtualBox, VirtualBox crashing with the guru
message or the VM rebooting. It would be interesting to see if it is
really the new VirtualBox version that solves it or if it actually was
a Haiku bug. You could download an earlier version of Haiku from haiku-
files.org (there is a r32117, so just the revision before that fix) to
see if this has the same symptoms under VirtualBox 3.0.4 as well.
