Odd. After the reboot with the new kernel, Gnumeric no longer hangs on 
start-up. I guess it remains to be seen whether the hangs in Mozilla 
are still occurring, since they're not as predictable as the Gnumeric 
hang was. So maybe these are different symptoms after all.

I'm still stumped, however about the problem with the VMware 
configuration script. Has anyone else running VMware on SuSE 10.0 who 
has installed the latest kernel via YOU encountered this hang in 
vmware-config.pl?
