It works for me too (8.0-STABLE i386). Thanks!

BTW, you wrote about assertion when virtualbox is built with debugging. I have
been observing a different assertion:

###!!! ASSERTION: failed to deserialize/set exception: 'NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)', file /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-devel/work/VirtualBox-3.1.51.r27187_OSE/src/libs/xpcom18a4/ipc/ipcd/extensions/dconnect/src/ipcDConnectService.cpp, line 2692
Break: at file /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-devel/work/VirtualBox-3.1.51.r27187_OSE/src/libs/xpcom18a4/ipc/ipcd/extensions/dconnect/src/ipcDConnectService.cpp, line 2692

But I observed an assertion previously on 8.0-RELEASE (I didn't record it, so
I am not sure it was the same assertion) so I alway built virtualbox without
debugging.
