Oh, then I was the wrong person to assign the PR to.

I thought you meant vmware2 since someone assigned your PR to me to
handle.  I'm sorry I cannot be of much help, but please contact
ak@freenet.co.uk, the vmware 1.x port maintainer, who must have an
environment to test your patch.  Also you may want to consult
freebsd-emulation to find testers. (both CC'ed)

Feel free to ask me for a commit when the fix is ready.


I'll be reopening the PR again, shortly.
