Re: VMware 5.0.3 hanging on OSX 10.8.3 - MacBook Retina mid 2012 8GB Ram (SSD)

Still having issues ... system hanging 3-4 times a day now.
Holding down the power button has finally destroyed my machine so it would not boot anymore "Recovered Files" were appearing in the Trash.
I have done a complete re-install of Mountain Lion 10.8.3 after re-formatting the disk ... third time in as many days.
I did not install any third party software (so no dropbox or anything else installed) and I did not "migrate" anything over from the backup - I just logged into iCloud for email etc.
What I am saying, is that it is a freshly installed clean machine with just the standard apps + VMware.
I installed VMware 5.0.3 and copied a few VM's back from the backup drive, and ran the Windows file system checks.
I use 'Full screen' with an external monitor, and regularly switch back and forth between them.
Some Microsoft updates came out yesterday, and the VM's rebooted themselves, I impatiently switched back from the VM whilst if rebooted and my machine hung again - however I'm just getting hangs at various times for no apparent reason.
I enabled SSH on my MacBook so that I can still get into it from another machine to see what's going on.
A ran 'top' and saw that many of the VMware processes are in "stuck" state - and can't be killed.
I issued the 'sync' command to get it to write everything out to disk, and then the 'reboot' command.
The machine did not reboot, but seemed to shutdown somewhat, so I turned off by holding the Power button.
I've turned on performance logging in VMware, and am now waiting for it to hang again ... sometimes I have to wait hours for this issue to show up again.
Are there seriously only 2 people experiencing this? - it only started happening since I installed 10.8.3 - conincidence?
