Interestingly this seems to be caused when using my wireless card to
bridge the virtualbox interfaces onto. I can't reproduce (yet) any
segfaults when I use the onboard ethernet card. I have the following
wireless card (supported by the rtl8180 kernel module)

04:06.0 Ethernet controller: Belkin F5D7000 v7000 Wireless G Desktop
Card [Realtek RTL8185] (rev 20)
