[vbox-dev] VbglR3GuestPropWait() not working well after hibernation

[Huihong Luo]

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

Hello Huihong,

Does hibernation mean ACPI hibernation here or saving the guest's state?
