After system update plasma 5 will not start

Did update today to 4.2.3-1-ARCH. When attempting a manual start (startx) of Plasma 5 it fails. Getting following in failure popup window in the Developer Information tab.

Application: Plasma (plasmashell), signal: Illegal instruction
Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
[Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x7fbe96dd7800 (LWP 608))]

This happening in a VBox VB running on W7.

Tried a few other VMs add getting the same error.

Plasma 5 was working fine before the system update.

Re: After system update plasma 5 will not start

Fixed the issue by installing latest version of VirtualBox for Windows 64, version 5.0.6. Older VBox version was 4.x.y something.
