Yes, I had (have?) this problem too. But I noticed much more
strange things, such as a dependence on window manager.
Day 1: Vmware installed and it runs OK with gnome/icewm.
Day 2: Vmware hangs and system reboots when I try to "power on" VM.
But it runs OK with wm changed to sawfish.
Day 3. Vmware crushes with both the sawfish and icewm!
But I never have got crushes under twm and kde.
I tried to create a "fresh" user and used it to run vmware
with default configuration of gnome and window manager,
but without any success.
So, I had to move to kde.

This was on 4.4-stable too.

I have not seen freeses on fxp0 (yet), but, in other hand, network traffic
usually not exceeds 30Mb/s...
Best regards!
