Have you tried Jaunty's virtualbox packages to see if it might be fixed in the next release? If it is fixed, maybe a patch could be backported.

Dear Jeremy,

apparently it's not fixed, but the problem occurs much less frequently.

Please let me know if I can send you any further debug info.

Best wishes, Paul.
