The situation has improved slightly, although attempting to run two
VirtualBox guests at the same time inevitably leads to a lock-up. I've
just taken to running one at a time. Not ideal, but until more
debugging can be done, it's the only option I have.

I ran into this using nvidia and radeon both. I can't really find a
pattern, but I do see it when Windows is trying to draw a new window,
or dim the screen when UAC kicks in...

BTW, anyone know how to get a good dump when running Xorg? I'm not
sure I've ever been able to, even when I panic on something non
related to X or video drivers.
