Hiya, Just to let you know that when conducting certain operations (such as connecting to a remote ESXi server to manage it) workstation-8.0.5 segfaults when using the >=curl-7.32.0. The backtrace looks a little like: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. curl_multi_add_handle (multi_handle=0x55555595d130, easy_handle=0x55555733a300) at multi.c:440 440 multi.c: No such file or directory. (gdb) bt #0 curl_multi_add_handle (multi_handle=0x55555595d130, easy_handle=0x55555733a300) at multi.c:440 #1 0x00007fffe64fc563 in ?? () from /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libgvmomi.so.0/libgvmomi.so.0 Downgrading curl to 7.31.0 solves the problem. It should also be noted that other distributions [1] have encountered this issue, and force vmware to use the bundled libcurl instead. There's also an article [2] about how to force the use of the bundled libcurl after the previous time that vmware and curl broke[3]. From the Arch bug reports, this may also affect vmware-workstation-9.0.2.
