Your strace log did not show a SIGSEGV but the usual error when another session of that VM is open. The VBox log file contains the error code VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED which results from not being able to setup the tap0 device properly. I assume that this device does either not exists or was not reserved for the VBox user. Please refer to the user manual to find out how to set up a tap device properly to make it work with VirtualBox.
Should you really encounter a SIGSEGV with the current version (1.5.4), reopen this report and provide an strace which actually contains that abort reason.
"strace -f vboxsdl -vm Umnik" output
