Upgrading VBox (the hypervisor software) to 5.1.8 last week made 
"make -C /usr/ports fetchindex" next to impossible on my FreeBSD 
guests.

I was running 5.1.6 of emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions{,-nox11} at 
that time. Luckily, I was able to upgrade the latter to 5.1.8 and all 
network/NAT problems went away.
