Jon and I have encountered a strange issue when using VirtualBox with 64
bits Linux hosts: the monotonic counter is not monotonic, with both 32 and
64 bits Linux guest systems.
The attached program (compile with gcc -O2 -o t t.c -lrt) gives an error
when executed onto the guest system with the
VMware Player 3.0 allows you to create and modify VMs, download the
vmware tools .iso, and uses the Workstation 7 engine. Also, you get
USB device support as well. If you also download the VMware VIX API
package you can use vmrun to script VM startups and shutdowns.

A similar issue occurs on Windows under VirtualBox. Doug and I tried a
workaround similar to yours but it doesn't work too well if the Factor
side of things doesn't poll the nano-counter often enough.
Perhaps the best thing to do is to report this to the VirtualBox guys
and wait for them
