Hi Craig,
Yes, I've had problems trying to run vbox, where it just hangs. I
tried running it through ktrace, but it just stopped the trace after
loading the libraries, nothing else. Haven't tried with truss,
though, nor have I checked SUID or anything (wasn't motivated enough
to look deep into it). This may be the same thing you're seeing. I'm
also running 7.2-RELEASE i386.
