Keith,

Unfortunately, this confirms my fear that in the recent Unix VMs  
problems appear which did not exist before.

Could you please report your findings on Mantis, either in an  
existing report that matches the symptom of your problem or in a new  
one? It's important to gather those datapoints so that they do not  
get lost -- especially in your case in which you seem to be able to  
reproduce the problem.

Cheers,
Adrian
