 I'm not convinced that this really is a VBox problem. It is known that
 compiling some projects will reset the system on real hardware. Like
 compiling GCC on GCC4 Haiku does trigger that sometimes, but I've also
 seen it by building Haiku itself. A system reset is essentially impossible
 to debug when you have no clue how to reproduce it or where to start from.
 If this problem is indeed the same problem as with the system resets, and
 there is a reproducible testcase as well as an environment where you can
 work from, this would be a great candidate to track down this issue.

 Is there any information that VBox outputs that could be used as a
 starting point to debug this? I don't have a system around that would run
 VBox, so I can't test this myself right now.
