So far no crashes. Thanks.

Gentoo portage had Virtualbox-4.3.2 available today. This version did not fix the problem for me. I don't know if it should or not as I don't know what rev number the patch released here corresponds to. Anyway, 1 VM running and I hit the problem in under 30 minutes with 1 VM running. Complete hard crash. Going back to 4.2.18 again.

I'm getting the same hard lockup, with both 4.3.0 and 4.3.2. I had an Arch guest I was testing with and after locking up the host several times and reverting to 4.2.18, the virtual disk was corrupt, only returning IO errors when the guest attempted to read/write. I deleted the guest before copying the VBox log (oops). It also happened with a Win7 guest.

I setup netconsole and was able to get the Oops output, but I didn't have frame pointers enabled, so it's not of much use. I have recompiled with frame pointers and will attempt to get a backtrace when I'm prepared to lockup my system again.

Last week I upgraded to Suse 12.3/Virtualbox 4.3.0 and feel I now have a very similar problem. Hard freeze on the base Suse OS. The console is sadly unresponsive. Turning VM to use only one processor seems to help. I'd love to downgrade but a package < 4.3.0 does not appear to be available for Suse 12.3.

I would upgrade to 4.3.2 myself.

I agree but mostly just so I can verify that others continue to have this problem. I built 4.3.2 on my Gentoo machine and found it unchanged WRT this problem. 4.2.18 continues to run fine. I do hope others will test, but I also hope that Oracle continues to look for the root cause.

So today, my host crashes again (I'm using 4.3.2). It was a Windows XP guest with 2 guest CPUs.
I did not experience a crash with my Windows 7 guest (also 2 CPUs) when I was working with yesterday for a considerable amount of time.

Here on Gentoo I tried 4.3.0, 4.3.0-r2 and 4.3.2. All crashed the machine hard the same way. It's not time oriented best I can tell. I will say the actual crash seemed to happen most often when I was doing something outside of the VM, but that's anecdotal at best I think. I've suffered 7 crashes at this point using the 4.3 series. When I go back to 4.2.18 I've not seen any problems. (I'm running 2 Win 7 VMs and a VMWare Player Win XP VM here and have been for the last 4 hours.)

For kicks I did a complete rebuild of the machine (emerge -e @world) to ensure every piece of software was built using the same C compiler. That didn't help.

This problem seems to be across multiple distros looking at this thread so (to me) it seems unlikely it's a specific kernel config option or anything like that. I put a bug report in the Gentoo system and a couple of other people have reported similar problems.

Which bug number would that be?

Also, has anyone found a way to reproduce the error? For me, the last crash of my Windows XP guest was during the install of the guest additions. In the host, some flash video was playing in a browser.
