[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#688918: virtualbox: Abort a while after the settings menu is shown

[Federico Brega]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
I due to some updates entered in testing last week I can't use virtualbox anymore.
When I try to start an existng VM its window is closed a few instants later, on the console I see the error message:

libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
Aborted

The same message is show when I try chenging the settings of any VM, but in this case the entire application gets closed.
I reinstalled libgcc1 and virtualbox to be sure it wasn't badly installed for some reason and tried the packages available in unstable but I don't see any change.

It may not be specific to virtualbox because I saw some unstable behaviours in other applications, too but I don't have any idea about which package is more relevant.
