Assertion error (iNew != NIL_PGMPOOL_IDX) in pgmPoolAlloc

[injinius]

Setup:

• openSolaris (nevada 99) host (16GB RAM, 250GB local drive)
• virtual box version 2.0.2r36488
• OpenSuse 11 guest OS (4GB RAM, 30GB drive allocated)

I'm trying to run some benchmarks (from iozone.org) in the guest operating system. These benchmarks appear to crash the guest OS (into an "unknon" state). The dmesg log that appears to be related to the guest OS crash looks like:

Oct 17 22:08:52 somehost vboxdrv: [ID 702911 kern.notice]

I didn't see anything in the bugs or discussion lists that matched.

I'm having the same message on Solaris 10 x86_64 10/08 with RHEL4 Update 5 x86_64 as Guest Virtual Box Version 2.04
