Thanks for the patch, finally got vmware working again on 4.4-STABLE!

With the previous version of vmware (vmware2-2.0.3.799_1) there
once was a patch to allow multiple vmware sessions running at the
same time.  I tried to use these patches instead of the patches
for vmware2-2.0.4.1142 but (as I already expected) they don't
apply anymore.

Does anyone know of a way to run multiple instances concurrently
under FreeBSD 4-STABLE?

Thanks in advance,

Paul Schenkeveld
