[vbox-dev] attach CD/DVD aborts the guest

[Perry Halbert]

I still can't find the exact cause even with the debug build.  But I see 
this in the hosts syslog

kernel: [  864.637068] EXT4-fs (sdb1): Unaligned AIO/DIO on inode 
23068695 by AioMgr0-N; performance will be poor.
kernel: [  907.647546] VirtualBox[3025]: segfault at 10 ip 
00007ffe574ede84 sp 00007fff617f1610 error 4 in 
libpthread-2.15.so[7ffe574e4000+18000]

All that is needed to trigger this segfault is to select choose a 
virtual cd in the devices menu.

This happens on two separate (Debian based) systems the laptop was built 
using deb build and the main PC as a run file install.
