 P3 800Mhz with 512meg of SDRAM
 AHA 2940U2W, Dual 17Gig Ultra Scsi 2's (LVD)
 no IDE devices, IDE is normally disabled, Matrox G400 Dual head without

 Soundblaster PCI 512, (emu10k1)
 
 using waimea as the window manager (or kde doesn't seem to make this bug

 using netgraph bridging, i have the RTC.ko loaded (that's another

 I've tried reinstalling VMWare and even on a fresh FreeBSD install it
 gives this error.

Do you have VFS_AIO in your kernel (or the AIO module loaded)?

(I don't use VMWare, just guessing by looking at your error message).

I'm pretty sure that's the nice incompatibility in recent glibc's.
vmware still thinks nice returns -1 on error, and that's no longer true:
it returns the new nice value, which could be very well -1.
The error message is totally bogus - it's probably issued by higher
layers that assume nice cannot fail.

Your only solution is to disassemble and binary patch vmware itself
using a hexeditor.
That may not be legal :-)

Good luck,

Adi
