My first thought is that its something in the vboxnet kernel module when 
using a bridge ... I think the problem has been getting progressively 
worse, with each upgrade, but since I upgrade both vBox and the kernel 
in tandem, I'm currently working on going 'back in time' with the code, 
see if I can find some 'stable point' ...

If anyone with more knowledge can suggest any commands I can run to 
provide debug info, or such ... ?  I don't mind debugging, just dont' 
know what to provide that is useful ...
