Bug Description

I've been running both Lubuntu and Xubuntu 13.04 in VirtualBox 4.2.6 for quite awhile now and they were both running fine. Once I updated the kernel and headers to 3.8.0-1.5 the VirtualBox guest additions will no longer build. I get the the VirtualBox message stating the headers don't match the kernel even though they seem to.
