That's right. The bug was fixed some days ago. In short the problem is that VBoxService.exe from the 3.2.0 additions goes maniac if it cannot initialize the guest control service. This service is disabled on FreeBSD hosts, therefore the problem. A workaround is to enable VBOX_WITH_GUEST_CONTROL in the LocalConfig.kmk. That feature was just enabled for FreeBSD in trunk.
