Thought I'd weigh in because I guess this bug is still open even though the comments are from two years ago. Anyway, I am using the virtualbox package from Oracle and for the most part it works normally, I've had guests running for hours no problem. Every once in a while, though, I get the complete GUI freeze. Sometimes the guest has been running for a while, this last time it happened just as I was starting a guest. It's completely unpredictable.
