2587	Virtualbox hangs on start in Ubuntu 8.10	Steve		"I tried several different packages from the closed source release, and tried compiling from source.  All of them give me the same error.  When I start Virtualbox from the terminal with ""./VirtualBox"", 100% of my CPU is taken up and there is no output.  There is no VBox.log file.  

I did an strace and discovered that it was repeating the same few lines over and over:
{{{
select(8, [7], [], NULL, NULL)          = 1 (in [7])
read(7, ""\241\10\324\3300\0 \0053\1"	defect	closed	other	VirtualBox 2.0.4	fixed	ubuntu 8.10 hang		other	Linux
