VMWare Fusion VM lockups...

Ok it seems like I 'fixed' this for the latest rawhide snapshots.  Apparently my 
VMs had reverted their memory setting to 256Mb which was crashing, but when set 
back up to 512Mb the crash does not seem to be happening.  I had set them to 
512Mb when I created the VM and assigned the snapshot image to each VM.

When packagekit starts downloading info about updates I still crash on the 
x86_64 Live image with only 512Mb ram, but 768 does not crash.  Thats an aweful 
big ram requirement to keep a VM running with no apps open though.

The prior lockups with my installed VMs aren't explained yet, those definitely 
are using 1Gb ram and I don't think that was the issue because they have swap 
available.
