Thanks for the detailed message, I'm going to try the suggested
changes on an host with RHEL4 and VMware Server that I had some VM
killing issues with.

BTW, any ideas why you didn't have this problem with RHEL3 and VMware GSX?

Also, does the same problem affect RHEL5 (I don't have an host handy
to test with)?

Thanks.
