Linux guest additions do not work with VirtualBox 2.0.6 on a Mac OS X host

Description
I just "upgraded" to VirtualBox 2.06 from 2.04, running a Linux guest on a Mac OS X host (Mac Pro). As soon as I did, the guest additions no longer worked (specifically, fullscreen mode doesn't work anymore), whereas they worked perfectly with 2.04. This is with an Arch Linux host, and yes, I reinstalled the guest additions. To add insult to injury, the old version of VirtualBox is no longer available on the website for Mac OS X hosts (you get a dead link). Please put up the old version, which worked. I should have known better than to upgrade so quickly.

No response, closing. Before re-opening this ticket make sure you upgraded to the latest release 2.2.2 (and upgrade your guest additions to 2.2.2 as well).
The old build was never removed, the link was just wrong, fixed. To help debugging the problem please add the VBox.log file of that VM session to this defect as well as
/var/log/vboxadd-install.logand/var/log/Xorg.0.log(both files of the guest of course).
