VBoxSVC locks-up badly on Windows hosts

Post by Technologov »

VBoxSVC locks-up badly on Windows hosts, when doing machine
lock/unlock several times and setting tracefile / CAP capture. (no
such problems on Linux hosts)

I wrote a testcase in python.

Host: Window XP, python 2.6.6 (and 2.7.1) + VBox 4.1.0 BETA1

(only workaround is it to manually kill VBoxSVC via Windows Task Manager)

To reproduce:
1. Modify vmname in "vboxtestcase.py"
2. Run "vboxtestcase.py" several times on Win XP

This bug is *Critical*.

Any chance to fix it ?

This bug disallows users from doing further work using python on Windows.

Thanks in advance,
