-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just to add to this, I just tried vbox 1.5 under another windows machine, using that machine's physical com1 port as the guest's serial port, and get the same exact results there also. So, whatever is causing this, it isn't machine-specific it looks like.
