Some change in the last few weeks has broken vmware in some odd and 
intermittent way.

The system works fine for a few minutes after rebooting with the current 
CVS tree but if left for a few minutes then the console session 
"freezes" whereas remote sessions via SSH work as expected.

Also occasionally the SSH sessions show odd problems like the screen 
temporarily freezing and key strokes being displayed "one behind the 
last typed one", eg. on typing AB only A is visible and on typing ABC 
only AB is visible.

The output of "ls" is sometimes similarly effected with the display 
"freezing" until return is hit.
