To follow up: Taking MFS out of the picture seems to clear up the problems. I've been beating the heck out of it for a while now, and the system is still stable. Excellent diagnosis, Matt! VMware seems to look at the TMPDIR env variable, so I'll be making sure to set that to /var/tmp before running VMware ;-) I wonder if they just started doing this (mmapping a large file in $TMDIR) in 2.0? I was running a demo of 1.x with no problems a few months back...
