It is based on the trunk version of the virtualbox SVN repository so this is development code and should not be used in production. We backported the memory allocation patch to 3.1.x and commited it with the update to 3.1.4 so this is the latest stable code and what you can trust in. If there are new problems coming up as the ones that are currently reported for latest stable kernels the chances are good that _both_ versions are affected in the same way because the FreeBSD specific code is mostly the same for both versions at the moment. -- Bernhard Fröhlich http://www.bluelife.at/
