VirtualBox (sometimes) not starting/hanging after recent openssl updates

Unless I completely mis-grepped your mail, this is the only libcrypto
pulled in by your VBoxRT.so, so it's not surprising that your system
is fine :)
The trouble starts when /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.8 and the
libcrypto.so.7 as above are referenced by the same VBoxRT.so.
Mind, the libcrypto.so.8 is part of "openssl from ports", so unless
you have that installed, you should be safe from _this_ problem.

Regards,
Christoph
