Description
After upgrading to 4.2.6, it is not longer possible to delete a snapshot while the VM is any other state then Powered Off. Before, it will still possible to remove a snapshot if the VM was paused for the operation, but it is no longer the case.
Therefore, it is possible to take a snapshot while the VM is paused, but not to delete it afterwards, which gives a VM stuck with a snapshot. This totally break backup scripts.

I have tried to remove the snapshot via vboxmanage, see putty.log for the exact commands.
