Heavy crasher: Ubuntu 11.04 guest crashed the Host(openSUSE11.4)

I´ve tried to start natty with installed guest addtions. After login it crashed my Hostsystem. A rest was necessary.

Looks like this is 3D-related.

1. Is this crash reproducible?
2. Does it also crash if you disable 3D acceleration for that VM?
3. When it crashes, do you get a host kernel panic, does your host X server crash or does your host reboot?

Wuha, you ask me of that a month later?

As far as I remember...mh,

1. yes, I´am pretty sure that it was reproducible with 4.0.6. I´ve tried it two or tree times.
2. I´ve never tried to disable 3D acceleration.
3. I get a a frozen screen, so the x-server was surely affected. As far as I remember I could not shutdown my system with the keyboard, so much more of the host must be affected than only x-server.

I have the same natty here, but under VB4.0.8...yes, it runs and did not kill my host. The desktop is flashing.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.1.22.
