Update /usr/src and rebuild world+kernel, install gnome2 from ports. Get this error eventually. I only observed it with FreeBSD guests, not with linux or windows guests. Currently, version 4.2.16 isn't usable with FreeBSD guests for this reason. I downgraded to 4.2.14 and it died with assertion the same way. Not sure if this is because VM created on 4.2.16 was reused. Some previous version (not sure which exactly) was very stable and I used it with BSD guests for a long time. Yuri
