Error when adding host-only network

I'm on OS X 10.7.3 and VirtualBox 4.1.12 r77218. There are no host-only networks by default, and when I try to add a host-only network in the Network section of the Preferences dialog, I get the following error:
Failed to create the host-only network interface.

Argument *aHostNetworkInterface is NULL.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: Host
Interface: IHost {dab4a2b8-c735-4f08-94fc-9bec84182e2f}
TIA

I'm facing the same problem here: Mac OS X, 10.6.8 and Virtual Box 4.1.12 r77218

Thanks! Downloaded the fixed version, installed, and no more error.
