Signal 11 is SIGSEGV (segmentation violation) so a coredump and stacktrace
would help. Since virtualbox is a suid root binary no coredump is created per
default.

You need to set:

sysctl kern.sugid_coredump=1

and then start virtualbox and let it crash. Then you should get a coredump that
you can open with gdb and obtain a stacktrace.

Something like:
gdb /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox VirtualBox.core
in the interactive prompt type: "backtrace" and send us the stacktrace.
