This is a new one to me.. One of our VMs just stopped cold. We had to hard-reset it. Things have been running just fine for 152 days on this box. Looks like a software issue related to memory allocation.. At the time of the event, the host was using 10 out of the 32 gigs of available ram, the guest was using 1.2 of the 2 gig it was allocated.
Host is running ESX 3.5.0, 120512
My log is filled w/ these messages pertaining to that virtual machine.

Any ideas?
