#158 vmtoolsd crashes with more than 16 network interfaces

[Markus Gaugusch]

One of my servers (still running openSUSE 11.4, but I've also recompiled latest
open-vm-tools from 12.2) can't run vmtoolsd.
After ~1 minute it crashes with the following message:

[ error] [vmsvc] MEM_ALLOC guestInfoPosix.c:292

I've found a hint, that this may be related to a large number of NICs in the
machine:

(In fact, I have 21 interfaces, most of them are assigned to VLANs on a trunk).

Thanks for reporting this issue. I have opened an internal bug to track it.

In the meantime, you might want to verify if this is still applicable with the latest release of open-vm-tools 9.10.2.

This is still not fixed.
