After ~1 minute it crashes with the following message: [ error] [vmsvc] MEM_ALLOC guestInfoPosix.c:292 I've found a hint, that this may be related to a large number of NICs in the machine: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=50701.0 (In fact, I have 21 interfaces, most of them are assigned to VLANs on a trunk). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure that there are at more than 16 network interfaces up 2. Start vmtoolsd 3. Wait a Minute Actual Results: vmtoolsd crashes Expected Results: No crash -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
