One of my servers (still running 11.4, but I've also recompiled latest
open-vm-tools from 12.2) can't run vmtoolsd.
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:

(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
