In looking for the vpxd logs for an unrelated post below, I noticed vpxd is core dumping every two days. The vpxd.log and core file are 39 MB compressed so I have put them here: http://senduit.com/8d4620 (valid for one week from date of this posting).

The only host that is registered to this vCenter is offline at the moment. This looks like vCenter is attempting to heartbeat that ESX 3.5u4 host that is offline, here's the stack trace:
