Not sure it's needed, but here's another "me too", also using Fusion.
At first I thought it had frozen, but locally, in the VM window,  
everything worked fine. (I always interact with VMs via SSH to get  
copy/paste, better fonts etc).
Also worth mentioning is that vmware-vmx ate 100% real CPU the entire  
time, despite the VM CPU (top in FreeBSD) showed 100% *idle*.
