Clicking on detect hardware in XP crashes the VM — at Initial Version

Description

I just added a serial port to the machine and wanted to install it in XP as it was not automatically detected, so I went in the device manager and clicked detect new hardware, the screen went black with some nice multicolor screen corruption.

Removing the serial port I just added also crashes the machine. Enabling VT also crashes the same way. In summary, clicking scan for hardware changes in XP just crashes VBox.

The host is Gentoo Linux, latest up-to-date version. The Virtual Machine is Windows XP Service Pack 3 Here's the configuration.
