Subject:   VMware on FreeBSD - crash with SMP systems?

I've been playing with Vladimir's excellent vmware compatibility stuff
under -current and have definitely noticed that it dies reliably on
SMP systems - I've talked with 2 others now who were able to run
vmware only when using a UP kernel, otherwise the error always is:

*** VMware internal monitor error ***

NullGate on IRQ. gate=0x68

Please report this problem via ... etc etc.

I guess the one giant lock didn't save us after all, Vladimir! :-)

Anyway, JFYI - I'm still amazed at seeing NT boot on another
FreeBSD/4.0 single CPU machine so please don't think I'm
complaining. :)
