Hi,

Found what's wrong (in my case):
if on /tmp partition I have XFS filesystem then VMware crashes
if on /tmp is ext2 then everything is OK

The only thing VMware does on it, is to place /tmp/ram0 file (found it in vmware.log).
But it does _not_ appear in ls output, nor in mc (midnight commander).
And I suppose, that if I have low memory, it puts them part of guest OS memory.
I think so, because the less memory I have, then I have crashes earlier.

I use VMware 3.0.0 build 1455.

Regards,

Olaf
