VirtualBox Guest Additions Service terminates unexpectedly

[Kurt Raschke]

Windows 7 x64 guest, Mac OS X 10.6.2 guest, VirtualBox 3.1.2.

On boot, the VirtualBox Guest Additions Service starts and then terminates; this manifests as a failure of time synchronization if the VM is suspended and then re-started.

The following is logged in the system log:

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.0.4.
