Ticket #13008 (closed defect: fixed)
SYSCALL instruction terminates guest => Fixed in SVN

Description
Issuing a SYSCALL instruction with EFER.SCE == 0 causes the virtual machine guest to gracefully terminate (with the "OK/Ignore"-dialog), rather than raising an #UD fault as you would expect.
I have not tested if the other #UD conditions (CS.L != 1 or EFER.LMA != 1 or LOCK-prefixed SYSCALL) raise the guest exception instead of terminating.

Hello ramshankar,
Sorry I was a bit delayed with my response.
I have now tested the version you gave me and it seems to have corrected the issue :)
#UD is correctly raised in guest context when I run SYSCALL with EFER.SCE = 0.
Thank you very much sir! Pelle.

Great!
Thank you for confirming the fix. The fix will be available as part of the next maintenance release of VirtualBox.
