Hi Keir, 

Please see the attached short-term fix. Hopefully, it can be applied before 
3.0.3. 

I have tested it with several memory combinations, and all pass:
ia32 guest, ia32 host, 1G guest mem
ia32 pae guest, ia32pae host, 1.5G guest mem,
ia32 guest, ia32e host, 1G guest mem
ia32e guest, ia32e host, 4G guest mem
ia32e guest, ia32e host, 8G guest mem
 
Best Regards
Ke
