This is unlikely to be the problem, but it is a fun story: Many years ago there was a bug in the KVM kernel code that failed to correctly context switch all the registers in virtual machines. In this case, the somewhat obscure debug registers. So if I was running debugger tests inside a virtual machine, and the test was using a address trap (where the debug registers can be set to generate an interrupt when you reference a specific memory location), then sometimes programs running on the host machine would get the address trap if they referenced that memory address :-). After much head scratching I managed to produce a test case that could trigger the bug nearly instantly and reported the bug, which was actually fixed.
I suppose the virtual box kernel code might have introduced such a bug, but that's probably unlikely. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
