[vbox-dev] Problem with running VMs after upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.2.4

[Roy Liu]

Hi,

Sorry for reposting this, but I didn't get a response the last time around.
The VirtualBox Mac Port is failing to start. The ticket can be found here.

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/36910

FYI, version 4.2.2 worked fine. It would be nice to know what changed in
4.2.4 so as to cause the problem. I didn't change anything significant on
the MacPorts end.

Thanks,
Roy
