12336,VBoxManage createdirectory hang in 4.3 => Fixed in SVN,rjoyce,,"The following command hangs when I try it in VirtualBox 4.3.2 on CentOS 6.4 with a Windows 7 32-bit guest (with VBox Additions 4.3.2 installed on it):

% VBoxManage guestcontrol ""My VM"" createdirectory C:\\some\\path --username aUser --password aPass --verbose
Opening guest session as user 'aUser' ...
Waiting for guest session to start ...
Guest session (ID 2) has been started
Creating 1 directories ...
Creating directory ""C:\some\path"" ...

Similarly, the COM/XPCOM API call IGuestSession.directoryCreate() and directoryCreateTemp() seem to hang.  In both cases, it actually creates the directory (but hangs upon return).

The VirtualBox log doesn't have any entries for this time period (but I've attached it nonetheless).

It works just fine in VirtualBox 4.2.18 (with 4.2.18 Additions installed on the guest).

I also tried a few other host+guest combinations.
Mac OS X 10.6 32-bit host, Windows 7 32-bit guest, VirtualBox 4.2.18: works
Windows 7 64-bit host, Linux Mint 15 64-bit guest, VirtualBox 4.3.2: works
CentOS 6.4 64-bit host, Linux Mint 15 64-bit guest, VirtualBox 4.3.2: hangs (but creates the directory)
CentOS 6.4 64-bit host, Windows 7 32-bit guest, VirtualBox 4.3.2: hangs (but creates the directory)
Mac OS X 10.6 32-bit host, Windows 7 32-bit guest, VirtualBox 4.3.2: hangs (but creates the directory)
Mac OS X 10.8 64-bit host, Linux Mint 15 64-bit guest, VirtualBox 4.3.2:hangs (but creates the directory)

So it seems to work fine on a Windows host.  Perhaps it's an XPCOM issue?",defect,closed,guest control,VirtualBox 4.3.2,fixed,,,all,Linux
