Settings dialog produces "Invalid Managed Object Reference" error.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

>> What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select a VM and click "Settings"

>> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see the settings dialog without errors.  An error message pops up 
about every second until I stop the vboxwebsrv process on the server.  

>> What version of phpVirtualBox, VirtualBox, and PHP are you using? On what
operating system?

phpVirtualBox - 0.5 and snv (r59)
VirtualBox - 3.2.8r64453
PHP - 5.3.1
OS - Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5

>> Please provide any additional information below.

Here is the error message:

Hello,

Are you sure this only happens when you click on the Settings button? Can you 
start vboxwebsrv manually and see if any errors are printed to the screen from 
vboxwebsrv when this happens?

I've only seen it when clicking the Settings button.  The only other things 
I've done with phpvirtualbox are starting/stopping VMs, and changing the 
settings in the File->Settings dialog.

Here is a sample of the output from vboxwebsrv.  For every popup dialog I get 
in the web browser, it seems to spit out a Request line (this happens probably 
2-3 times a second.  I said once a second above, but I was wrong).

[This is taken from the moment I click "Settings"]

Are you able to open the settings dialog from the VirtualBox GUI? Can you use 
VBoxManage to print the VM's settings like so:

VBoxManage showvminfo VMNAME

?

Then I must say that I am stumped. It looks like an error between vboxwebsrv 
and VirtualBox. Something is causing communication between the two to stop, 
which causes phpVirtualBox to spew the errors you are seeing.

Hello,

If you are still seeing this issue, it should go to virtualbox.org.
