Windows guest VM becomes a zombie -> recheck with 3.1.4

Description
host: opensuse v11.1, linux 2.6.27.42-0.1-default x86_64. guest: win XP sp3
After some undefined amount of idle time, more than 12 hours (maybe 24), the Windows guest VM becomes a zombie. All of the VM menu items have disappeared, no response whatsoever to key or mouse input, the guest window area is completely black.
Only the window frame is active; when I click on Close (the "X" icon), the "Terminate this non-responding application?" dialog pops up. That is the only solution.
vbox-1.log is a normal log file.
vbox-2.log is from the session that became a zombie.

Check again with 3.1.4 beta 2 (see the forum for the announcement). There's a major guest SMP stability fix included.

Please reopen if it still occurs with 3.1.4.


Normal session log, start to finish
