Thanks for the heartwarming reports, so it was not all for nothing ;) Apparently, the fixes did not yet make it upstream - neither the original VirtualBox, nor to Thomas Gouverneur's svr2ips script so far, as I was (and am) waiting on the top upstream to decide. Ram did not say 'no' so far... though it might help to stir up a bit of attention on their mailing list just to let know I'm not the only one interested in mainstreaming the solution ;) I'm on vacation camping for a few weeks coming, so am unlikely to be of greater help.
