VirtualBox freezes on startup — at Version 2

Description (last modified by )
VirtualBox freezes on startup for 2 to 6 startups until it finally starts. I've got to kill it with xkill or killall and restart it before the GUI shows up correctly, else I only see a gray square. I will attach a strace and core dump file of the frozen state.
And the strace gets blocked at waitpid and won't move at all, even after 15 minutes.

Autoformatting.. grrr. Also dump file is too big for bug tracker, so here you go: 949kb http://ticpu.net:8080/~jerome/VirtualBox/core.15496.lzma 1587kb http://ticpu.net:8080/~jerome/VirtualBox/core.15496.bz2 Just in case I'm not alone using lzma compressor :)

I assume you installed the 32-bit Linux generic package?
Please disable your update checker. The waitpid system call is waiting for the wrong process ID. This shouldn't happen of course.
