Hello friends,

we recently installed vmd 1.8.6 in a workstation.

typing vmd on the terminal , successfully launches the vmd windows.

but then the machine gets hung up. neither mouse nor keyboard works . the
only way to get back to normal condition seems to reboot.

i tried to ssh login from a remote machine and killed the process vmd.
even after the process got killed , the vmd windows remain (hung up state)

it is a 64 bit machine.
the os is redhat enterprise linux (2.6.9-22.ELsmp).

the following is the startup message in the vmd-console :
