I got up today and went to start vmware and it wouldn't start. I tried
restarting the vmware service and then starting vmware from a terminal
and this was the output:

$ sudo /sbin/service vmware restart

I think it is a problem with pre-linking. I think I'll start a separate
thread on this so that this one doesn't go off topic.
