--- Begin Message ---Package: virtualbox-ose Version: 1.6.2-dfsg-6 Severity: normal Tags: patch Virtualbox upstream bug #1775[1] is also present in Debian's virtualbox-ose versions in lenny (1.6.2-dfsg-6) and sid (1.6.6-dfsg-1) and manifests itself in repeating the following message numerous times in ~/.VirtualBox/Machines/sidux/Logs/VBox.log: 00:00:30.075 PATM: Disabling IDT e patch handler c0344888 This blows up the log file significantly (up to several 100 MB) and has also significant negative side effects on the system performance of my Athlon XP-2000+. Upstream, svn commits 12524, 12525, 12527, 12532, 12534 deal with this issue by rate limiting the PATM messages to 255 repititions (the commits above partly revert each other again, to keep the ABI for saved snapshots compatible). The attached patch, based on the aforementioned upstream commits, applies against virtualbox-ose 1.6.2-dfsg-6 and 1.6.6-dfsg-1 and fixes the problem for me.
