macOS Sierra 10.12.5
VBoxManage --version = 5.1.24r117012
Win VM paused, mac => sleep; on wakeup attaempt to rev the VM yields error:
The virtual machine '[name]' has terminated unexpectedly during startup because of signal 6.

Googling

read this one comment there says:

Oh and look to see if there might be a VirtualBox.xml-prev file. If so rename it to VirtualBox.xml and see if it works.

This file is in ~/Library/VirtualBox, diffed - nothing significant.

Solution

Quit & Restart VirtualBox
