VMWare crashed with KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE

Hi,

Running Fusion RC1 on original rev MacBookPro

I have been running an XP SP2 instance all day with no problems under Unity. However a few minutes ago Fusion crashed and generated a crash report.

Upon attempting to start the Fusion instance again it seems that the VM was still running as when I clicked on the run button it launched straight back into Windows. my guess is that some form of gui processing failed.

I have had a couple of problems today where windows would hide themselves behind others and wouldn't come to the top (Unity) and where the Windows froze and couldn't be clicked (Unity) and I had to go back to single window view and then back to Unity to unfreeze them.

I'm guessing my problems are due to Unity and using the VM for the last 8 hours in Unity mode.

Should I raise a support request about the crash, is their enough information in the log to help?

Regards

Ed

Although Matt did not answer this clearly...I would go ahead and file one and reference this thread.

Ciao, Andreas
