FWIW, I've come across this as well with VirtualBox - but don't think it's specific to build 99 necessarily. I've opened up a bug with the current findings - http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3965 Glynn With very limited data, I am reporting that I have successfully

2008-10-16 Thread Tom Georgoulias
