I have an XP VM running on a FreeBSD host that is refusing to start with the 4.0.4 code:

-------------------------------

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine XP.
The virtual machine 'XP' has terminated unexpectedly during startup because of signal 5.
 
-------------

Result Code: 
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: 
Machine
Interface: 
IMachine {662c175e-a69d-40b8-a77a-1d719d0ab062}

Failed to initializable the support library, rc=VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH!

----------------------------------

I'm really not sure what support library it's talking about.  I did a full uninstall of the old version before installing the new one, even rebooting afterward to make sure there were no remnants in the kernel of the old modules.  The VM disk I'm using has the virtualbox drivers from the 3.x series installed, but certainly that shouldn't error out until it at least has a chance to boot.
