system freeze with two mice

[westl]

(at least with Win 7 32bit guest machine with and without Virtualbox add-ons)

Systematically occurs when two mice are plugged in.(The reason why I was using two mice is because I was programming a gaming mouse which can't be done in Linux. I set to have this gaming "usb mouse" as usb-captured by the guest.

The problem of freezing still occurs without using usb-capturing. As long as two mice are plugged-in the native&guest will all freeze together. )

A Windows 7 guest machine can boot up, but when shutting down the guest as well as the "host" freezes. (In the VM machine, the user Desktop closes properly, and the screen freezes with the machine picture textlogo 'Shutting down...')

local keyboard and mouse are frozen. ssh is not permissible to the native host indicating it is really frozen.

I believe it's possibly the Linux kernel, as I don't think this was occurring with previous Linux kernel builds

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
