[vbox-dev] 3.1 final version vm freezes when hibernating

[Huihong Luo]

I just tested this on the lastest binary 3.1 from VirtualBox.org download, and this bug still exists.
 
(1) 
It's very easy to reproduce. Just enable 3D/2D, create a XP vm (I am using 32-bit Vista host), then start the vm, and hiberante it from command line:
 
VBoxManager controlvm "testvm1" savestate
 
you will get the crash. Try a few times if not getting it 1st time.
 
(2) another hard way is to shutdown the xp vm from Windows Start menu, Shutdown
 
After many tries, you will get the crash. Make sure to enable 2D/3D.
 
I spent quite some time to track down the bug, still not yet find it. It's to do with some thread starting, judged from following crash call stack.
 

Unhandled exception at 0x038734b2 in VirtualBox.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x038734b2.

sometimes, vm console becomes non responding when closing with Saving state. It's XP guest on Vista host, 32-bit.
 
It seems to do with 3D/2D enbling. The problem occurs much often when 3D/2D is enabled. If 3D/2D is off, the problem seldom occurs.
