[vbox-dev] OSE r32797 causes null-pointer dereference on linux host

[Perry Halbert]

  What is the host?  I worked the installs all the way up to r32892 and 
am using an XPpro SP3 x86_32 with Visual Studio 2005 guest in Ubuntu 
10.04 x86_64 host to compile with. I have not had a host crash and 
everything is working as it should.
