What happened?
In a local drive of the guest system, a symbolic link to a network folder exists (the network folder is actually a host shared folder). Inside that symbolic link, there was an empty subfolder. I tried to delete it from within the guest VM and VBox crashed.
How can we reproduce this?
In a local drive, create a symbolic link to a path in the host drive, using "mklink /d \\VBoxSvr\<SHARED_FOLDER>\SomePath". In that path, create an empty subfolder from the host PC and try to delete it from the guest PC.
Did you upload all of your necessary log files, screenshots, etc.?
