Thank you for testing this.  In general it would be better to respond to 
the threads pertaining to individual issues to update things, and make a 
new thread for new issues.  In this case, it would be helpful if you 
would instead respond to this thread saying, "Tested-by: Fabio Fantoni 
<...>"

I don't quite understand: Are you saying that you see this error 
message, but the guest still works as far as you can tell?

These issues are actively being worked on; there's no need to comment on 
them in particular.  If you think the issue may have been forgotten 
about, the best thing to do is to respond to one of the old threads and 
ask if there has been any progress.
