Or downgrade the libc vmware is using (allthough the vmware 3.1 is a
free upgrade)

The following hack will get vmware working again:

/usr/local/bin/vmware:
#!/bin/bash

echo "VMWare wrapper - Bug with glibc2.2.5-4 and beyond workaround --
Maniac"

# Preload old libc6 so vmware 2.0.4 will continue to run
export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/vmware/oldlibs/libc.so.6
exec /opt/vmware/bin/vmware "$*"


And then placing a older version of libc6 in /opt/vmware/oldlibs or
whereever you want it to be.
