Solaris Guest crashing with 16GB memory

I've got a Solaris 10 host which is hosting a Solaris 11 guest. Since I upped the memory for the guest from 8GB to 16GB (after upgrading the host from 16GB to 32GB) the guest regularly dies with "Guru Meditation".
I've upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.1.8 and the issue persists.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Eric

...and reverting back to 8GB while not touching the physical host fixes the issue...

Could you please upload a VBox.log for the VM that guru meditates? Thanks.

Snippet from the log you sent me shows the guru:

Could you try bumping the HyperHeap size from the present 1.25 MiB to 3 MiB and see if it makes a difference:
Code: Select all
VBoxManage setextradata <VMNAME> "VBoxInternal/MM/cbHyperHeap" "3145728"
The value you specify is in bytes. If you continue to get this guru, try bumping this value even higher. The MMHyper code rounds this to 4096 bytes boundaries, but I suggest providing a value that's a mutiple of 4096 anyway, as I only checked the code for trunk and not older branch builds/versions.
