VMware Workstation 7 and rawhide

[Nathan Grennan]

   Today I installed VMware Workstation 7 build 203739 x86_64 on my 
rawhide system. It runs, but has issues with guests crashing when I try 
to move the mouse cursor outside the guest's display area. In a terminal 
window I get errors like the one below. The urls below are threads on 
VMware's forums talking about the issue. It seems to have been narrowed 
down to glibc-2.10.90. I looked into downgrading to 2.10.1, but found 
that can't be done without breaking half the system. Like others I tried 
downgrading libX11, without success.

  It get the impression from a little research that I have done that 
Fedora 12 is going to be a mess with random applications, because of the 
newer glibc. glibc's home page says 2.10.1 is the current stable 
release. glibc-2.10.90 seems to be getting lots of fixes as of late. 
glibc being such a core package can break almost anything if it isn't 
stable. Fedora 12's release is only three weeks away.
