Hello,

I just tried testing this in a related environment and am not
encountering the problem, so perhaps whatever it was has been fixed in
the interim.  I tried with VMWare Fusion 3.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.4,
booting a 5.99.39 generic amd64 kernel built on Oct. 29th (the latest
available via the releng builds).  Everything is working fine for me.

Regards,

Dave
