"Xorg -configure" crashes (Segmentation fault) in vmware_drv.so

[Reynaldo Matos Hortensi]

I don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf natively on my system so I tried on console:
sudo stop gdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
cd /etc/X11/
sudo Xorg -configure

but I got a segmentation fault with backtrace on /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

There's a twin bug on debian.
Please help me reporting that bug. Thanks.
