Hi Steve,

I installed lastest updates from xenial-proposed and the problem is fixed for me. No error is displayed and VirtualBox works as expected. Thank you for this quick fix.

Even though this is an upstream bug fix release I'd like to see some functional testing done to ensure there are no regressions. So far the only verification has been to confirm that this specific bug no longer exists.

testing was good!

Please could you detail what testing you did, and confirm the package versions that you tested?

Yep sure. Since xenial is my development primary machine, I removed vbox 5.1.18 and installed the proposed one.
Every Vm started correctly even the ones in saved state. This includes debian unstable VM windows 10 Vm windows 8.1 and ubuntu zesty VM.

I did open all of them and saved again new snapshots.
I went again to 5.1.18 and they started correctly again.

(I have done something more I don't recall, but I always do cross testing when updating vbox against various different VMs)

This bug was fixed in the package virtualbox - 5.0.36-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2
