Can you explain what's going on exactly? A step-by-step guide?

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe or recreate the problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

The same problem here.

Is a really big bug, is totally unusable: I have to left the VM open and not touch nothing at all.

Please solve.

Thanks.

I am having this problem as well.
macOS Mojave Version 10.14.6 (18G3005)

It's causing the os to crash and reboot.

I hope this will help, since this bug seems quite serious.
Even though I have a bit different environment (see end of post), I have the same issue.

Issue description:
After machine boot properly, I launch demanding compilation task, that uses multithreading (make command with set multiple jobs, up to max amount of given virtual cores).
After a period like 2-10 seconds, whole HOST OS freezes for couple of seconds and crashes to reboot.

Different use cases:
I tried out different guest settings to fix the problem, but the only change that I was able to perform with any difference in behaviour was setting different amount of cores given to VM.
The less I gave it, the longer I must wait for host crash. For 8 it takes 1/2 compilation runs to cause the crash. Given 2, it linearly decreases to approx. 10-20.
(Attached VBox_For_LinuxMint.log contains info about run of VM given 8 cores)
I wasn't able to perform crash on 1 given core, because compilation takes an eternity then, so I wasn't able to perform too much of them.

I tried also with different VBox versions. Bug remains under 6.0.0, 6.1.0 and even with ones of 5.2.X and 4.X.X (cant remember now which exactly)

Test host setup:
OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6
Machine: iMacPro 2017
Processor: Intel Xeon W 8 x 3,2GHz
RAM: 32GB (9,5 GB used by OS and apps) 2666 MHz DDR4
Graphics: Radeon Pro Vega 56 8 GB

Test guests setup:
Crash_infoz.zip contains .vbox-prev files for both guests I have - Linux Mint and Win 10 Enterprise

I've just triggered the crash again, but this time I had 3 cores given.
Host broke down as I connected to guest's Visual Studio Code via Remote Development plugin.
I haven't got to the point I was able to run compilation of anything.

New info - my collegue have performed this crash as he turned network bridging on.
Is there any interest in this topic so far?
