Virtualbox causing 2015 12" rMB to restart - solved

[Sirolway]

I've just moved from a 2009 13" MBP to a 2015 12" rMB (1.3, 8GB, 512GB).

On starting VirtualBox, the laptop would restart. Did this a few times before I started Googling & found that this seems to be a known issue & the latest VirtualBox test builds will resolve it. Seems to have worked for me.

Hope it helps someone out there

Thanks Sirolway - I for one will find this useful when I eventually install all my old programs.
