Virtualbox 4.3.30 strange problem

Hi there.


I have never had a problem with any virtualbox version.

I don't know what I did or installed or configured, but now, the very
same version that was working flawlessly, started doing this.

I type VirtualBox on a terminal. No output comes out and the GUI never
starts. Running truss on the process pid gives me this:

3186  1  S+    0:00.33 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox
3244  2  R+    0:00.00 ps ax


[~]>truss -p 3186

poll({16/POLLIN|POLLPRI},1,5000)                 = 0 (0x0)
poll({16/POLLIN|POLLPRI},1,5000)                 = 0 (0x0)
poll({16/POLLIN|POLLPRI},1,5000)                 = 0 (0x0)
poll({16/POLLIN|POLLPRI},1,5000)                 = 0 (0x0)
poll({16/POLLIN|POLLPRI},1,5000)                 = 0 (0x0)
poll({16/POLLIN|POLLPRI},1,5000)                 = 0 (0x0)
poll({16/POLLIN|POLLPRI},1,5000)                 = 0 (0x0)
poll({16/POLLIN|POLLPRI},1,5000)                 = 0 (0x0)


After I ^C, VBoxSVC.log has this:

VirtualBox XPCOM Server 4.3.30_OSE r101610 freebsd.amd64 (Sep  3 2015

Eventually, I can insist on it (^C, open new terminal, try again) until
it ends up starting. I never need to do that before. Ever!

This is my desktop and my loader.conf and sysctl.conf variables have
been the same for a long time.

I tried:

rebuild VBox/Vbox kmod
rebuild world/kernel
update /usr/src; rebuild world/kernel
rebuild VBox/Vbox kmod

Nothing helps!
This never happened before.
