I want to add that this happens when old additions that were installed 
were mounted. This repeats itself when I press "Force Unmount" button.

When I first ejected the 4.0.2 additions through right-click menu, 
"Install Guest Additions" worked. But when I tried to start firefox on 
this VM I am getting "Bad exchange descriptor" error reading one of the 
shared libs. And VM crashes soon after I try to upgrade additions.

This was my second Solaris10 VM saved from 4.0.2. Will try to install it 
from scratch now.
Doesn't look like Solaris10 is a usable guest in vbox-4.0.4 on FreeBSD-8.1.
