<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are using guest property to launch guest applications from host, however this bug prevents it working once vm is saved to states (vm is hibernated). Seems there are some states related are not saved or recovered correctly.</DIV>

<DIV>I mean saving the guest vm states.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can test it easily on windows XP guest. (I use Vista/Windows 7 host).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(1) on guest: vboxcontrol guestproperty wait myprop</DIV>
<DIV>then close vm saving state</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>start vm, and </DIV>
<DIV>(2) on host: vboxmanage guestproperty set myprop 123</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You will note that vm waiting process never returns.</DIV>
