Bug#1014394: linux kernel 5.10.0-15 on virtualbox host causes random process crashes in guests

[Richard Laysell <richard.laysell@xiphosura.co.uk>]

Thanks Mike,

I have upgraded to the test build of VirtualBox (6.1.35) and I am not
now seeing Firefox crashing in the virtual guest.  Both host and guest
are running 5.10.0-16-amd64 - 5.10.127-1.  So, I guess this is not a
kernel bug so much as a 'incompatibility' between these kernels and the
older versions of VirtualBox.

Regards,

Richard
