I saw on it on debian-devel, it's a bug in VMWare because they relied
on the bug in nice(). VMWare provided patches, but those are only for
version 3 and because VMWare is non-free software, you can't patch it
yourself. IMHO some people need to get plex86 in an usable state,
relying on crappy non-free software is always bad. And for me a nice
second-hand machine with the same price as a VMWare license works
fine. :)
I hope I don't get flamed like on debian-devel just because I say that
non-free software is bad and you can expect such things with non-free
software.
