4040	VirtualBox becomes Zombie process, requiring Host hard-reset -> fixed in SVN/3.0.0 beta 2	Fenix*NBK*		When installing several VMs in parallel, VBox processes may stuck. \r\n\r\nSymptoms:\r\n\r\nWhen this happens, all VBox processes becoming zombie processes without ability to get them killed. Windows Task manager did not help -- it refuses to kill VBox processes. I could not soft-restart or soft-shutdown host Windows either. Had to do hard-reset. When I press "kill task" in Task manager, the VM's GUI window disappears from Windows Desktop, but process continues to exist in Task Manager. (which I interpret as zombie process)\r\nHost OS & all apps continue to run, but becoming extremely slow, especially on Disk I/O operations.\r\n\r\nHost: Windows XP SP2, Intel Core 2 Q6600 CPU, VBox 2.2.2. (VT-x enabled)\r\n\r\nIt happened with the following combos: (two VMs installed in parallel)\r\n\r\n * Win2000 + Win 7 RC1 (32-bit)\r\n * Fedora 9 and 10 (both 32-bit)\r\n\r\nI don't see anything strange in VBox logs. But my understanding of them is imperfect.\r\n\r\n-Technologov, 18.5.2009.	defect	closed	blocker	VMM	VirtualBox 2.2.2	fixed			other	Windows
