VirtualBox won't start

Hello,

I was really looking forward to trying out VirtualBox after all the good
reports here, but it was not to be:-) - when I try to start it with
simply 'VirtualBox', it just sits there, doing basically nothing at
all...

This is on i386 7.2-RELEASE, virtualbox-ose-3.1.2_1 and
virtualbox-ose-kmod-3.1.2_1 built from ports with default config and no
issues, vboxdrv.ko/vboxnetflt.ko/vboxnetadp.ko loaded fine as per
instructions.

Below is the tail of a ktrace - the original process (1421) forks
(1422), and then 1421 is repeatedly and unsuccessfully polling on what I
believe is a pipe to 1422, while 1422 seems stuck in a _umtx_op()
call. The SIGINT is me hitting ^C (which works "fine"), rather quickly
here but I have also tried waiting a long time, it just keeps polling
forever.

Any ideas about what the problem might be would be appreciated!

Thanks
