Yet, you didn't file a bug. |

RR4/RR64. I don't think I really need to say much more. They make |
| 12 |
modifications to lots of things, so any reports from them are likely |
| 13 |
bunk. It also doesn't help that the posts in question prove almost no |
| 14 |
information. |

...with almost no real information to actually see that the problem is |
| 19 |
very likely a specific local problem that could probably be worked |
| 20 |
around in a much different manner. Again, there's no bug report on it, |
| 21 |
so who knows. |

Yes, your amazing wit baffles even the Caped Crusader. |

Perhaps, if you took a few moments to try to file a bug report and |
| 35 |
actually get something like this resolved, if it is actually a bug, |
| 36 |
rather than responding with pointless retorts, it would make the |
| 37 |
situation better. |
| 38 |

The funny thing is, as I have said, there are exactly 0 bug reports on |
| 40 |
this. I, personally, run over 40 VMware Workstation installations, |
| 41 |
using everything from GCC 3.3 to GCC 4.1.1. I also maintain VMware |
| 42 |
Workstation, and have heard *nothing* about this, not even from the |
| 43 |
people using the experimental overlay, and there have been *hundreds* of |
| 44 |
people using it. While I am not saying that there is not a bug |
| 45 |
affecting your system, I *am* saying that your *requirement* to get |
| 46 |
VMware Workstation running is nothing of the sort. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Please file a bug report on this and we can determine the *real* cause |
| 49 |
of the problem, as well as determine a proper solution. Either that, or |
| 50 |
you can just continue with your witty bantor, and I can just ignore the |
| 51 |
whole thing, since nobody else seems to be experiencing it or consider |
| 52 |
it important enough to file a bug. |
