Thanks Przemyslaw, This could be a useful tool for finding a problem. OF course, Barton sells a fantastic product that runs directly on the hipervisor, and nearer the metal so to speak, but unfortunately for those of us in (real world) small shops, it's packaged and priced out of our range.
I'll give it a try. The demon dies on my machine, but maybe it's because I'm running a later version of VM (5.4). Have to fire up the debugger and try to find out why. Dobra Robota!
