Of course it is also VMWare related. - From what you have described, it's likely that there is some memory issue. The FreeBSD Virtual Memory system tends to use all physical memory and this could be a problem for faulty memory chips (i.e. it's more easy for FreeBSD to trigger problems). If you have access to the host system and possible, would you please try to install FreeBSD directly and see if the problem still occurs?
