VM crashes when starting from command line, either VBoxHeadLess or VBoxManage startvm

[Francisco Aguirre]

I'm running VirtualBox on Mac OS X 10.5 and runs OK from the GUI. When I start it from the command-line either from an ssh session or Remote Desktop I get an error.

Trace/BPT trap

The VM crashes when using either VBoxHeadLess --startvm chile_pruebas002 or VBoxManage startvm chile_pruebas002 --type vrdp

If I run VBoxManage startvm chile_pruebas002 then the windows appears on the desktop.

I'd like to run the VM only from RDP.

Still relevant with VBox 3.1.8 / VBox 3.2.4?
