has virtualbox gotten more buggy?

Hi all, I use virtualbox 3.2.12-ose.

since the last time i used vbox (i think it then was 3.1 or maybe even 3.0) i noticed some new bugs:
- screen refreshes partially or sometimes not at all (unless i hit a key): this becomes very confusing and frustrating (or could this be a recent kernel regression?, it's a VM in text mode booting the archiso images etc)
- sometimes crashes without writing anything to stderr.  usually the cause was a module not being loaded, or something wrong in my ~/.Virtualbox directory
- impossible to revert to a snapshot (crashes, again)
- numpad doesn't always work

anyone else noticed this?

I have not noticed any problems running a WinXP guest..

(edit: this is on virtualbox_bin though)

I've the same problem with Dieter@be,so I have to go back to Vbox-3.2.10 with kernel downgrading to 2.6.35,which works great for me currently.
