 I am trying (for the first time) to get VirtualBox to work.  And
 when I select Start (using an image from a colleague who has run
 it successfully), I get a VirtualBox - Error pop-up window:
 
 Failed to open a session for the virtual machines [Vmachine name
 here]
 
 Failed to loaf VMMRO.r0 (VERR_SUPLIB_SYMLINKS_ARE_NOT_PERMITTED).
[...]
 So: what must I do in order for VirtualBox to actually work?

I find it annoying too!  These so called hardening validations may
be useful for e.g. running it as a service but have little value on a
single user system that one do experiments on.

I have this custom patch on my own system.  It's probably useful if we
make a non-default compile time option for the port, too.

Indeed.

Cool; thanks!  I'll hack a bit :-}
