Bug Description

A kernel panic occurred while shutting down an Ubuntu MATE (Utopic) amd64 system running in a VMware Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310 virtual machine with VMware Tools installed. Messages appeared to indicate a problem in one of the vmware kernel modules as the cause. Details collected by apport appeared that they may be sufficient to identify the cause specifically. I hope so, since I don't have any information about any actions I may have taken to trigger this panic (or to have prevented it in the past).

Embarrassingly, I wrote "Ubuntu Mint" in the bug report (there is no such OS but some people use that term to mean "Linux Mint"). Rather, I had this bug on Ubuntu MATE Utopic, not Linux Mint. It may also exist on Mint but I have not verified this. I apologize for the wrong information I gave in my bug report.

I've edited the report and changing the distro/package back to open-vm-tools (Ubuntu), but if there's an independent reason to believe this affects other distros/projects, then by all means anyone may feel free to make any further appropriate changes.

I'm pretty sure it is correct for this to be filed against open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. I'm less sure Ubuntu MATE needs to be listed, but since I believe all changes made since I filed the report were a result of my incorrect description, I've set it back to that and it can be modified further by others as needed.
