Bug Description

I compiled and loaded the VMWare 5.0.0 build-13124 kernel modules. After loading
them the system has many defects. Defects like sudo hanging and
bonobo-activation-server nolonger working. Evolution hanging etcetera.

The funny thing is .. that vmware actually works.

This is the problem of vmware with kernel 2.6.12. You must install
vmware-any-any-update93.tar.gz to re-build the kernel module correctly from
http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/.

If vmware is broken, you should contact vmware support.
