Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

I am electing that the version of virtualbox used in Karmic is moved to 2.2.4 
at least.  There are many serious bug fixes including this one from VirtualBox 
user FAQ:
VBoxManage modifyhd --compact crashes or corrupts .the vdi image
There is a bug in VirtualBox 2.2.2 which is fixed in later releases. Don't use 
this command with release 2.2.2 or your .vdi image might get corrupted!

The info can be found here:
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ
I know that I have used that command on occasion.  It would be a shame to have 
a dozen or more poor souls come screaming that we negligently included a 
version of VirtualBox that is known to corrupt images while compacting.
