Occasional Hang when saving machine state - data loss — at Version 12

Description (last modified by )
Hi there.
Occasionally Virtualbox fails to save the machine and hangs on 100% on the "... Saving the execution state of the virtual machine"
I am forced to kill the VirtualBox.exe process. This unfortunately corrupts the attached virtual disk and often leads to any work done during that session to be lost.
Host Windows XP SP2

This happened a week ago to me on Windows 7 Host with XP guest (both 32 bit) and just happened on Windows 7 Host with Vista guest. I am looking now at the "Saving the execution state" 100% message for an hour already. It has not fully hung, actually, I can move the message around and the guest window beneath the message is being redrawn normally (with the usual grayscale overlay which is visible on saving). It seems I'll have to kill VirtualBox.exe process again.
My log file looks really similar to the attached one: it has a bunch of messages at the end:
ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={6375231a-c17c-464b-92cb-ae9e128d71c3} aComponent={Console} aText={The virtual machine is being powered down} aWarning=false, preserve=false
VirtualBox version 4.0.8. I will upgrade to 4.0.10. now and see if it occurs again.

I observed the same characteristics here:
virtualbox 4.1.4 r74291 Windows 7 x64 also using the following software: kaspersky antivirus, vmware-player 3
added some attachments with prefix "ws111114". (Stack traces were taken at different points in time.)
After saving these attachments I did the following (no attachments for the second instance!):
While application was not responding, i started a second instance and navigated to the 4th item ("Massenspeicher" in the German GUI). The content (with IDE-Controller and SATA-Controller) was not drawn and the second application stopped responding too. I stopped further investigation at this point.

BTW: I checked the logs of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011: No (false positive) threat was reported.

Also reappeared with
VirtualBox version 4.1.8 r75467 (and Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack of the same version)
host: Windows 7 x64 without any anti-virus software installed
guest: ubuntu 11.10 32bit with current guest additions installed
Would a mini-dump created by sysinternals process explorer help in finding the bug?

This just happened to me with VirtualBox version 4.1.10 r76836. All the behaviors described above match what I'm seeing.
Host: Windows 7 x64
Guest: Windows Server 2003 32-bit
I then tried to save the state of another guest I had running and encountered the same issue.

4.1.12 Win7 host, Win XP guest
Hangs on close. The log has this line repeating about once each second:
00:57:57.102 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb} aComponent={Console} aText={The virtual machine is being powered down}, preserve=false

Please attach a VBox.log file of such a VM session.


Still relevant with VBox 4.0.4?
