bug report: vmrun snapshot hangs, but also makes the snapshot.

vmrun snapshot just sits there like nothing happed. theres no indication in the gui either.

you can quit out of it with ctlr-c, and find that it did make the snapshot.

listSnapshots, deleteSnapshot, and revertToSnapshot all work as expected.

making the snapshot from the gui also works as expected.

vmware fusion 8.1.1

macos 10.11.6

same command. and, it works fine on most vms, just not the one i was using on, where it takes 3 minutes instead of few seconds like my other vms. this is why i thought it was hanging.
