Subject:   -current as guest of VMWare2
Message-ID:  <20020530234650.B3994@armor.fastether>

Hi folks,

I'm currently trying to install -current as a guest OS of VMWare2
running under 4.6RC.

The problem is that it works correctly except that after some
processing, the VMWare2 engine slows down the OS incredibly. To
get things back to a correct speed I have to suspend the VMWare
session then restore it.

I also have a VMWare2 guest 4.6RC (running on the same 4.6RC host)
which works like a charm.

I've compiled with the following machine file:

Any idea?

Nicholas
