warning: `VBoxHeadless' uses 32-bit capabilities

Hi,

I'm running VBox 2.2.4 on Ubuntu 9.04 server AMD64. (2.6.28-13-server)

I noticed this in the system log after setting up three VMs to start as a service (http://www.glump.net/howto/virtualbox_as_a_service):
kernel: [ 15.767810] warning: `VBoxHeadless' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

I just wanted to check if this is expected (I didn't find a posting on this). All VMs are Linux based. One is 32-bit (Vyatta) while the others are Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit. It only occurred once in the log while the system was booting up.

As a test, I loaded another 32-bit VM via VBoxHeadless and did not get another entry in the system log.

If you need more info, please let me know.

Thanks

This is only a warning and can be ignored. We use 32-bit capabilities for backward-compatibility reasons.
