[cc-ed back onto the emulation list, others may want this...]
You vmware binary has been patched.. 4 bytes are altered.
Looking at the vmware-any-any-update96 update.c file I have
matched this to -PART- of the trypatch2242 code (that is
the patch when any-any finds a 3.2.1-2242 binary):
static int trypatch2242(struct file* fd, const char* name) {
static const char newcodeNICE[] =
"\xE8\xC7\xFF\xFE\xFF\x33\xDB\x83\xC4\x04";
static const char oldcodeNICE[] =
"\xE8\xC7\xFF\xFE\xFF\x89\xC3\x83\xC4\x04";
static const char newcodeNICE2[] =
"\xE8\x5D\xFF\xFE\xFF\x33\xDB\x83\xC4\x04";
static const char oldcodeNICE2[] =
"\xE8\x5D\xFF\xFE\xFF\x89\xC3\x83\xC4\x04";
Using your vmware binary on my FreeBSD 5.4p8 w/linux_base-7.3
has correctd the shutdown panics from VMWare itself and I can
again smash the reset button and not have to restart VMWare!
THANK YOU!
I suspect that this also corrects vmware w/linux_base-8.8,
which I well confirm as soon as I can.
I further suspect is what happened was your applied the any-any
patch at a much lower revision that only had these 2 hunks in it,
probably right after this problem was found, and when myself and
others tried it with the later version that has another large patch
that crashes the FreeBSD kernel with a page fault. I have found
the archive of all the any-any patches so that I should be able
to confirm that.

I'll be getting a patch out to vmware3 port for folks to use...
or there is enough data here for you to do it yourself.
