I have not had time to test v4.1.2 on FreeBSD 8 as a host, but the guest 
additions work well with WinXP as the host and FreeBSD 8 as the guest. 
I think v4.1.2 even fixes a bug where the copy-and-paste between host 
and guest would stop working after running for hours, days or weeks. 
The copy-and-paste hang would even prevent FreeBSD from shutting down 
cleanly.
