AFAIK vmware create a large file in /tmp-directory, which represents the
guest's physical memory. In your case this file will be >128M (it needs
some extra-mem, don't ask me for what). These file is hidden, you can't see
it (even with ls -la, since it is immedately deleted after creation).
So, does the partition holding your /tmp-directory have enough free space to
store this file?
A second possibility which you should check is if you are running into some
limitations (ulimit or quota)
