[Adam John Trickett]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-3
Followup-For: Bug #505281


VirtualBox use to fail now and then with the assert error, now it's happening
very frequently and it dumps out messages to the /var/log/messages /var/log/kern
and /var/log/syslog log files until /var fills up and the machine locks up.
