It is NOT a vbox issue. If we release with this bug, it will bite us back for long. Sometimes, its better to delay than to release a bugger.

Try other virtual machines for now, this is the only thing I can advise until it's fixed. VMWare Workstation (Player), Parallels Workstation, they don't exhibit the bug.
64MB VMware Workstation 8 (64bit, Win7-ultimate x64) guest hangs all the same, on MSHTML.DLL. Takes a while though :)
It implies:
- if your machine has low memory you'll run into this issue
- if your machine has enough memory you might run into this issue,
depending on the machine/emulator/virtualiser.
As p1 runs with 32MB and p3 runs with 40MB it's a shame to see p2 require about double this memory (or up to 512MB in some cases). On the other hand, it allows ROS to actually run apps in p3 instead of only looking at a nice system tray and desktop picture.
Best of luck releasing 0.3.14, developers.
