VM aborts with segfault on host

[Nick]

Windows 7 & Windows Vista guests, both 64 bit abort with a segfault in the host message log at the time of the abort. Happens randomly, usually after the guest has been on for several hours and the guest will not run more than 24 hours without this occurring. Host is openSUSE 11.4, 64 bit with virtualbox 4.1.2. This problem started after installing 4.1.2, previous virtualbox version 4.0.10 worked fine. Below are the segfaults from the host log.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.1.4. In that case please attach a VBox.log file of a VM session when VBox crashed.

The problem still exists the message in the host log is below

Oct 5 18:19:10 mts4-pc kernel: [1570248.074832] VirtualBox[19353]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f6afb957d28 sp 00007f6ae5cfc9b0 error 6 in VirtualBox.so[7f6afb6ab000+55c000]

I've attached the vb logs. Additional information, AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor, 16gb ram

Update - The segfault occurred once, noted above, since upgrading to 4.1.4 but has not reoccurred since that single instance.

[Nick]

In the last update, I noted that the segfault had only occurred once since upgrading to 4.1.4. Two days after that it crashed again and continues to segfault about every day. I upgraded to 4.1.6 and the problem continues, the error logged in Linux is now segfault at 8 ip 00007f106385e9e8 sp 00007f104dac89b0 error 6 in VirtualBox.so[7f10635b1000+55d000]

Is there anything I can do to help track down this problem?
