I've been testing on two 32-bit installations.  I was using a custom 
kernel on both, but I just tried with GENERIC on one of them and the 
crash of VirtualBox still happens.  Both machines have 2 gigs of RAM, 
one with 3 gigs of swap and one with 2 gigs of swap.  Both are running 
-CURRENT from 6 days ago.

One machine:

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz (3191.87-MHz 686-class CPU)
   Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0xf64  Stepping = 4
  Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE>
   Features2=0xe43d<SSE3,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,CNXT-ID,CX16,xTPR,PDCM>
   AMD Features=0x20100000<NX,LM>
   AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF>
   TSC: P-state invariant
real memory  = 2147483648 (2048 MB)
avail memory = 2084831232 (1988 MB)

And the other:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad  CPU   Q8200  @ 2.33GHz (2327.49-MHz 
686-class CPU)
   Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x10677  Stepping = 7
  Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE>
   
Features2=0x8e39d<SSE3,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,SSE4.1>
   AMD Features=0x20100000<NX,LM>
   AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF>
   TSC: P-state invariant
real memory  = 2147483648 (2048 MB)
avail memory = 2085683200 (1989 MB)

The Xeon supports AMD-V, but it doesn't matter if I enable that in the 
acceleration configuration of the VM or not.

On both machines I have tested the same Windows XP guest.  Base memory 
is 512 MB, 1 CPU.  The video memory is set at 64 megs.  On one of the 
machines I have also tried Ubuntu.  128 megs of RAM, 1 CPU, 12 megs of 
video memory.  3D acceleration is disabled on both machines.

The XML config file for the guest is here: http://pastebin.com/Qaqx7gTi

I'm actually installing -CURRENT amd64 to a spare USB drive I have on 
the Xeon and can test to confirm that it works there since you believe 
this to be a problem only with 32-bit FreeBSD.
