This sounds like a bug. I suggest you to open a bug report and attach the VBox.log file of a typical VM session there. As this is an opteron machine, the problem could be related to our AMD support. Do you have AMD-V enabled for the VM sessions? If so, try to disable it and see if that makes a difference. You might then note a worse performance with Solaris guests but this would help to isolate the problem. In general, VirtualBox is quite stable, host reboots are _very_ seldom.
