Hi,
Got an issue with running vmware-tools on a Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS -- 2.4.9-e.57smp.
vmware-tools version is 8.3.12.9814 (build-559003)
Previous vmware-tools version 8.3.7 was running fine.
vmtools.log has the following
[Nov 30 10:53:16.926: ] [ debug] [vmtoolsd] Plugin 'autoUpgrade' initialized.
[Nov 30 10:53:16.927: ] [ debug] [vmtoolsd] Plugin 'deployPkg' initialized.

[Nov 30 10:53:16.932: ] [ message] [vmtoolsd] Plugin 'libvmbackup.so' didn't provide deployment data, unloading.
Running "/usr/bin/vmtoolsd" from the command line fails with a Segmentation fault. If you would like to have a look at the stacktrace let me know- I couldnt find much in there.
Though running "/usr/bin/vmtoolsd " with the trailing spaces works fine.
Any ideas on this one please?
Cheers
