I have just installed the vmware2 port on 4.7-RELEASE and noticed that 
the vmware-wizard wouldn't run from inside vmware.  It will run 
manually, but if it's run inside vmware (as a regular user) the exec'ed 
'sh' (/compat/linux/bin/sh) will seg fault and core dump.

This doesn't happen when running vmware as root.
Everything works as expected if I rename /compat/linux/bin/sh and let it 
fall though to /bin/sh

The command being run is '/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-wizard -- -x'

I am guessing it's a permissions or environment problem.. but I am yet 
to work out what it is exactly.

Any suggestions?
