5168,Virtual Box 3.0.8 (Mac) Aborts after about 4 hours of working with OpenSolaris 2009.06 -> fixed in SVN/3.0.10,Constantin Gonzalez,,"I use !OpenSolaris 2009.06 running on Mac OS X 10.5.8 as my regular work environment.

With versions 3.0.6, I've been seeing regular Virtual Machine aborts about one or two times a day.
I hoped this would go away with 3.0.8, but after upgrading today, I experienced another abort.

Here are the symptoms.
 * Everything works great for a couple of hours (4 hours in the last case).
 * All of a sudden, the VM freezes, I see the Mac OS X beachball, the VM screen vanishes and VirtualBox shows the machine to be in ""Aborted"" stage.
 * I don't see any errors in the log (my latest log file is attched).
 * When restarting the machine, there's about a 30% chance that the restarting process freezes and I need to Force Quit Virtual Box. 
This seems to hurt the rest of OS X: I can't regularly ""Quit"" other apps, but must resort to ""Force Quit"" them. Only a restart fixes this issue and after a restart I can also restart my VM.
 * In the other, more lucky cases, the machine just starts from scratch and I can work again for about 4-5 hours. ",defect,closed,VMM,VirtualBox 3.0.8,duplicate,"crash, abort",,Solaris,Mac OS X
