After more tests, this doesn't seem to be a solaris
dynamic linker problem...
I filed a virtualbox bug for this:

Root cause that triggers the problem is apparently onnv-gate changeset 7057
"PSARC/2008/342 Further SID support".
When I backout that changeset, the original VBoxSVC doesn't crash any more on
startup.
CS 7057 added a new dependency for libsec.so: libidmap.so.1
And libidmap.so.1 needs libldap.so.5, which needs libnspr4.so.
And this breaks VBoxSVC.
