    initial v1  
    1 1) After installing Guest Additions on macOS, let's say 10.14, they fail to start.
    2 2) GA fails to start because it tries to open file named '<NULL>' for log file, and macOS returns EACCES, and GA gives up and error-quits.
    3 3) The reason for opening file named '<NULL>' is bug in GA's code:
     11. After installing Guest Additions on macOS, let's say 10.14, they fail to start.
     22. GA fails to start because it tries to open file named '<NULL>' for log file, and macOS returns EACCES, and GA gives up and error-quits.
     33. The reason for opening file named '<NULL>' is bug in GA's code:
     4
    45   In main(): static char *szLogFileName = NULL;
    5    In vbclInitLogger(): Calls RTLogCreateEx with "%s", pszLogFileName
     6
     7   In vbclInitLogger(): Calls RTLogCreateEx with "%s", pszLogFileName
     8
    69   so ("%s", NULL) becomes string "<NULL>"
