I have seen the same thing on my 4.0.8 VBox running on 64-bit Windows7
on a quad-core Phenom II with Ubuntu and FreeBSD guests. It has frozen
up several times during compute intensive operations, usually video
transcoding. 

For this reason I suspect it is not FreeBSD specific. Has anyone seen
reports on this elsewhere? It actually happening started on 4.0.6. Never
saw it on 4.0.4, but it had MUCH more annoying issues.
