Hi all,

we have had similar case in the past, and workaround was found:
* https://www.illumos.org/issues/6919#note-7
* that was added to wiki too: 
https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/7.2+VirtualBox#id-72VirtualBox-Virtualizationfeatures

Not sure what to do with this new case (should be illumos issue opened 
or not)?

In any case, I have updated /hipster today and it has crashed. Output

Booting to older BE (with latest VBox package - 5.2.16) worked for me too.
