I won't be able to test this until (probably) next week. Ben, are any of the server machines running VMware Fusion (they'd be OS X boxes, since VMware Fusion is the OS X equivalent of VMware Workstation). If so, would it be possible to test this report on one of those machines (or any other such machine you're aware of and have access to)? Feel free to CC others who might know more about this.

We do not run Fusion on the server-side at all. I run it on my personal laptop without problems. I'll try these specific STR in a bit, but I've never seen this before.

I can't reproduce this with the steps above

Thanks, Ben! Your results suggest a couple of possibilities -- 1) that the STR from comment #0 isn't detailed or precise enough, and/or 2) that some other software may also be involved.

One more thing: The current version of VMware Fusion is 1.1.3.
Based on Steven's comments, I downloaded and installed 1.1.3 and the problem has disappeared.
