Assertion failure 'Tag != 0' from VBoxDisp.dll

Reported by: Thomas Faber Owned by:
Component: guest additions Version: VirtualBox 5.0.0

Description

When running VBox 5 with Guest Additions against a checked build of the Windows kernel, it will assert on startup. VBoxDisp is calling EngAllocMem with a Tag of zero, which is invalid. This is a regression, and worked fine in 4.x.

From a quick look through the source it seems to come from this line: src/VBox/Additions/WINNT/Graphics/Video/disp/xpdm/VBoxDispVBVA.cpp:305

return EngAllocMem(0, cb, 0);

WinDbg output:

*** Assertion failed: Tag != 0
***   Source File: d:\srvrtm\base\ntos\ex\pool.c, line 1839
