12693	vboxdrv crashes on the HOST server. Need a hard reboot to bring up the host back	shivprakash		"On a RHEL-6.4 host with VB version 3.1.8r61349, the Host (RHEL-6.4) keeps crashing randomly. The frequency is 2/3 crashes per week. This seems to happen when 2 guest VM's are communicating (This is some basic heartbeats - udp). And the crash is in the vboxdrv module.

As the VM core is huge (~17G) im attaching the BT. We had raised this issue with RHEL team, and after debugging the issue, they pointed it to be a bug with virtualbox driver bug. Attaching their analysis too.

You can find the RHEL ticket here:
