I upgraded virtualbox-ose to 4.3.8 on 3/3 and did not see the errors until 3/11, so the upgrade itself did not introduce the errors. The 3/3 upgrade was my last upgrade of virtualbox-ose and I did not re-install it after that. However, on 3/11 I built a new -CURRENT (r263062). Something in that build seems to have introduced the errors. My previous -CURRENT (r262295) built on 3/8 did not have the errors. I'm still looking into this. -Tom
