VirtualBox may crash with Windows NT 4 guest

Description

Just installed Windows NT 4 SP0 guest on VirtualBox.

Right After installing guest additions (and restarting), VirtualBox crashed.

Host: Core 2 Quad Q6600, 4GB RAM, Win XP SP2, VirtualBox 1.5.2.

Guest: Windows NT4 Workstation, without Service Pack, with guest additions.

Settings: 64MB of RAM, ACPI=on, IO APIC=off, VT=off.

The crash is Guru Meditation. It is sometimes reproduceble.

Now, if this configuration is not supported, and I know that Guest Additions are intended to be installed on NT4 SP6 (not on SP0), the guest additions setup must simply refuse to install on such a system.

After the VBox crash, VM can be rebooted and Win NT will work with the guest additions.

P.S: It doesn't seem to crash with SP6. But maybe we need to try more times...
