13938,Mac host: Virtualbox creates empty processes and prevents restart/shutdown,Blownauratone,,"Macbook Pro 2012, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, newest Vbox and extensions, Windows 7 VM

I've seen this issue talked about throughout the VB forums and elsewhere, and so far there has been no resolution. My particular problem with this issue comes from the fact that I am a documentation specialist, and so must work extensively with unfinished software and drivers, which create instabilities often—requiring restart.

When I try to restart, Virtualbox's processes will not quit and cannot be stopped by any method, GUI or command line. I am forced to hard-reset my computer, which creates a host of other problems and causes a constant need for system maintenance.

I hope very much that there is a resolution for this issue! I otherwise prefer Vbox to all other virtual machine solutions, and spread its gospel with all of my friends in tech.",defect,closed,other,VirtualBox 4.3.24,worksforme,zombie process restart mavericks,,Windows,Mac OS X
