VBOX: Treat ERR_INVALID_PARAM from create_vm() as an unrecoverable error.
...
Since most everyone is running something more recent that BOINC 7.2.16, we can assume that the hardware just does not support hardware acceleration. Inform BOINC that the VM Extensions have been disabled so that the server can either assign a 32-bit VM which can use software emulation, or just not assign future work to the host.

VBOX: Take a screen shot on failure and dump the base64 encoded image to stderr.
...
Report the MD5 signature in the stderr output as well so that duplicate screen shots can be quickly identified. Of course this assumes that the exact same PNG is generated across different machine types and video cards. Currently I believe that it should given the hardware in question is virtualized.

Basically the VM periodically 'touches' the file to let the wrapper know that it is still alive. If the wrapper does not detect a change to the mod time of the file at the specified interval it assumes the worst and aborts the job.
