Fusion 11.5.2 Guest OS Disconnects from Host File Sharing

Ever since updating from 11.5.1 to 11.5.2, my 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server guest OS cannot maintain a stable connection to the host OS via file sharing (i.e., the host has file sharing turned on).  There are frequent disconnects and even when the connection is working, performance is very slow.  The host OS is 10.13.6 High Sierra.

I use MacOS file sharing because VMware Shared Folders do not correctly transfer older MacOS files that have resource forks, etc., but it works fine with MacOS file sharing. Also, I can store older MacOS applications in the host OS Applications folder and run them from within the guest OS.  VMware Shared Folders work fine with a Windows 10 guest OS.

Anyone else run into this problem and have a solution?
