I'm currently evaluating VMware 2.0 for Linux (build 476) using the
vmware2 port on a recent 4.0-stable kernel with XFree 3.3.3.1.

I have an NT4 guest OS setup (I copied the nt4.dsk file from a colleague
so I did not install from scratch). 

This works OK except for the fact that when doing nothing in the virtual
PC (according to NT perf.mon.) it uses 98-100% system CPU time and using
truss I only see this being repeated all the time at an enormous speed:

    syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff474,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff468)
	    returns 0 (0x0)
    syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff540)
	    returns 311 (0x137)
    syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4e8,0x0)
	    returns 0 (0x0)
    syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff474,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff468)
	    returns 0 (0x0)
    syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff540)
	    returns 311 (0x137)
    syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4e8,0x0)
	    returns 0 (0x0)

Anybody any idea where I can start looking for the problem? Thanks in
advance.

Arjan
