Every time I shutdown a VM, the Virtual Box will crash and I have to click re-open. Below is part of the error message generated by the iMac.

Does not seem to be a "Windows Guests" question. Moving topic to OS X Hosts.

There are a couple of reports about 10.14 (Mojave) crashing. Nothing solid yet...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

I've been having this problem for a few years now, since Yosemite, on my MacBook Pro mid-2014.
I've sent the crash report to Apple a few times, which never made sense. Perhaps the crash report should be redirected to the VirtualBox developers?

I haven't been terribly worried about this problem until today when, whilst running v5.2.12, I was not able to reopen the VirtualBox GUI via the Dock icon until I shutdown all running VMs. It was a bit of an inconvenience as I was in the middle of doing some stuff. So I upgraded to 5.2.22 at the same time.
Under 5.2.12, I've only had one occasion, a couple weeks ago, where a VM didn't shutdown cleanly. It may have been my own doing as I was trying to create a VM using physically attached disks and perhaps did something incorrectly.

[UPDATE}
Well, I spoke too soon about VMs not shutting down cleanly. My U14.04 server triggered a VirtualVM error while shutting down today. I had just made a snapshot and noticed my Mac's fan came on. So I decided to shut it down to see if that would help, which it did. Fortunately I have been able to start it up again and log in.

Cheers,
Nap
