Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose of virtualization if the =
virtualized environment can still blow up the host system? :)

But =85 reading your note below, did this cause issues with your host OS =
(either a crash or hang?), or did it just cause problems within the =
guest OS, or the ability to start it up?

broke and didn't lose much.
