VMWare Fusion locks up when requesting promiscuous mode

Full crash dump and analysis available here.

In the event that promisc mode is requested by a guest machine, VMWare Fusion should display a user dialog asking for permission. However this dialog never seems to get displayed, and the process locks up, hanging on `authorization-connection-queue`.

This would appear to be a bug in the way that VMWare Fusion handles displaying the user dialog.

Hi sleepycal2,

Thanks for using Fusion. Which version of Fusion are you on and which linux are you using? Are you using NAT or bridged?
