Null pointer error in VMPlayer 5.0.2

I've just started running VMPlayer 5.0.2 on a Fedora 19 x64 host with a Windows 7 x64 guest.

About once an hour or so, I'm getting a fatal error that shows up in the host terminal window:

  terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cui::NullPointerError'

  what():  Null pointer dereference

When this happens, fortunately, the VM suspends itself, and I'm able to restart it without incident.

Still -- very annoying.

Just an FYI, no version of Fedora is a supported Host OS for VMware Player/Workstation and considering Fedora 19 was just release it's not surprising that there are issues.

Well, sure, but I've been using VMWare + Fedora for many versions without incident, other than installation issues.
