I do not recall any specific VM problems in particular (maybe except that NTPD
does not work too well in VMs), so I would recommend checking for the real
reasons of crash. Maybe there are some useful errors in the DS/certmonger log
files.

If not, seeing the stack trace of the crash would help us/dirsrv developers
identify the problem:
