Bus error when running VirtualBox

Post by Gerr »

I am receiving a bus error when running VirtualBox 3.2.10 on an iMac with 10.6.4. This is on a brand new installation with no guests installed, yet. The error occurred on the first run as well as all subsequent runs. Do you have any advice for resolving this issue?

A log of the crash contains this top level information:
