Can you recreate this issue outside without using VMWare?
This is almost certainly a bug in vmhgfs... and since vmhgfs is in the stack trace it would be impossible to recreate the bug without it.
Sorry for late answering for my regrest, because i'm working outside from my home the last month. Chuck you're right, this bug happens only in VMware Workstion. In a real fc16 beta installation i've no kernel bug. In VMware Workstion 8 there is a problem to install the vmware guest addons with kernel-3.1 for the moment. The vmhgfs modul failed to build.
