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.
