Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

VirtualBox 1.56 OSE on Hardy beta with AMD64 running Windows XP always
crashes if left unattended. It never crashed while I was working on/in
it. If left unattended (meaning computer left alone) it would crash in
about 1 to 2 hours. It seems to function fine if I get back to my
computer (including at least taking a look at VB) every half hour or so.

Another, not any less weird and  I am not sure even related thing, is that 
sometimes WinXP in VB starts slow and sometimes fast - no VB settings changed. 
I thought the pattern was reliably every second time. When it starts fast - it 
is amazingly fast. I boots and shuts down,(both separately) in about 15 secs - 
very zippy - pleasure to work with (I wish Gnome was that zippy). When it is 
slow - it is really slow - unusable. However after shutting it down and 
starting - it is fast again. Again, all this no VB setting being played with. 
It seems to toggle, fast-slow. However I succeeded to have a fast-fast sequence 
- I think fast-fast happens if I shut down not long after it was started. 

Please let me know what more info should I provide. It is a great
product and it would be really nice to have it working properly.
