Thanks for your analysis, Bertram - sorry about the incorrect closure of this
bug, I forgot about the new VMware module being open and stuff (this has changed
since the last time I used VMware).

Can anyone confirm whether this bug is woody-only, or whether it also applies to
4.2.x/4.3.x? Until we establish how wide the reach of this bug is, I'm leaving
this as moreinfo.

Thanks for using Debian, and thanks for your analysis.

Regards,
Daniel
