Well, Surprise! Yesterday, Jerry and I were looking at the earlier version of VB (3.0.8?). I tried running the version I had on my Mac, and asked it to check for updates. "Latest version". After a while, I instead clicked on "Go to VirtualBox web site" and got the download page for v3.2.0. Loaded it, and it ran just fine. No problem with the "About VirtualBox" dialog. Now it shows Oracle though.
