No problem. Will try get it to you as soon as I can.

In the meantime, you could maybe update the troubleshooting guide with a few
things:

Error: "Floating Point Exception" when running "revert" under Debian

Solution: Compile revert from source

The "compile_revert_linux.sh" file I used looked like this:

--- file ----

#!/bin/sh
export VIX_INCLUDE="/usr/include/vmware-vix/"
export VIX_LIB="/usr/lib/"
echo $VIX_INCLUDE
echo $VIX_LIB
gcc -I $VIX_INCLUDE -o revert revert.c $VIX_LIB/libvmware-vix.so
--- file ----

Error:

"VIX Error on reverting to snapshot: The system returned an error.
Communication with the virtual machine may have been interrupted"

Cause:

Broken or missing snapshot

Solution:

Recreate the snapshot

Cheers
