Reverting to snapshot when kernel debugger attached

I run a WinXP guest with windbg attached (it runs on the host).

Now when I attempt to revert to a snapshot, the GUI often hangs dead and needs to be killed.

This occurs more often while some breakpoints are set on the guest.

After I kill and restart the GUI, it can connect again to the same vmware_vmx instance and repeated attempt to restore the snapshot may succeed (sometimes takes 2-3 times).

Is this a known problem?

A workaround that works for me is to:

close windbg, then kill the GUI (or exit with the VM running in background) then restart GUI and repeat going to the snapshot until success. Then restart windbg.

Regards,
