GuestControl Execute from python is broken (Windows hosts only)

[Technologov]

Host: Windows (XP+Vista+7) + python 2.6.6 + pyWin v216 + VBox 4.1.0

The following command fails on Windows hosts: (from vboxshell.py)

vbox> guest "Windows XP VM 11" 'print console.guest.executeProcess("ping.exe", 0, " 127.0.0.1", "", "Administrator", "123456", 10000)'

Objects for SAFEARRAYS must be sequences (of sequences), or a buffer object.

NOTE: The same works on Debian Linux 6 hosts.

NOTE: This bug also affects C#, and possibly other high-level (managed) languages.

C++ works (as proven by testing VBoxManage)
