vm crashes after unpredictable time (pgmPoolTracDerefGCPhys) => Fixed in SVN

Description
A RHEL 6 VM running on a Windows 7 host crashes after a random about of time while using a GUI that has a lot of graphics, like gimp. When I run the exact RHEL 6 VM on a Fedora 11 host it runs fine, never crashes. The virtual tools are installed that came with VB3.2.6. The time it takes to crash ranges from 10 minutes to 5 hours, but it always crashes. By crash, I mean the whole VM is locked up.
I am not an expert but from my observation it looks like the VM cannot access the disk any longer and / or the video driver.
Also, when I run this RHEL 6 VM on a Windows 7 host and only run basic GUIs like a terminal or firefox (basic static web page) it does not crash, I have ran it in this state for days. Once you start to use a GUI that uses a lot of screen real estate, say opening up a image in gimp in full screen after a bit of time the whole VM will crash.
Attached is the VBox.log Please let me know if you need more information.

Should be fixed either in VBox 3.2.10 or (more likely) in the next maintenance release. Disabling large pages should work around this problem as well.
