Let's replace movl %eax,%ebx with xorl %ebx,%ebx ;-) Apply
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-ws-1455-update12.tar.gz. It fixes issue
for VMware 3.0 and for some 3.1 betas. If you are using VMware 2.0 and you suffer
from this problem - sorry.
It also fixes crash when you start vmnet-bridge with eth0 interface loaded,
but down, and you'll not 'up' interface before eth0 interface disappears
(by rmmod -a, for example) by fixing problem and not symptoms (like previous
fix did).
