Further tests shows the corruption occurs only at the 3rd byte of a 16-byte block, and only the LSB is affected.
Load on the machine is minimal and VMware is at the BIOS setup screen.

Never seen that, and nobody reported that. Are you sure that vmmon/vmnet modules choosen by vmware-config.pl are correct ones? If you exprience any problems, you should run 'vmware-config.pl --compile', it will cause vmmon/vmnet to be build from scratch even if your kernel looks like one for which precompiled module is available.

And next question - do you use vmmon/vmnet from VMware, or from my site?
