hi !

i see it`s already been discussed here - i have posted a related (or even same) 
issue in vmware forum - see 
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=89580&tstart=0

one comment:

i don`t agree.
if some software/drivers makes a VM crash "from the inside" this is a serious 
bug and may lead to security problems - think of a hacker who is able to 
exploit this to break out of a VM.
even worse if this can be issued from user-space via sending some scsi 
command/ioctl.
