VirtualBox fails to start (NS_ERROR_ABORT)

Hello,

I've had an issue on numerous revs of FreeBSD 9 where VirtualBox fails 
with NS_ERROR_ABORT, and VBoxSVC segfaults. As a developer myself, I 
wanted to find the bug, so I built VirtualBox with debug symbols, and 
the issue is gone. Makes debugging quite hard... My system is built with 
clang right now, but I was having the same issue with precompiled 
packages (kernel still clang). Nevertheless, building with debug on 
makes it work somehow. Perhaps there is an issue with optimizations or 
some other crazy issue?

Anyone else have this issue?

FreeBSD 9.0-BETA2 r225251
