We're seeing a similar problem with our Koha install; we're blaming the 32-bit OS. I'd recommend upgrading VMWare and (re)installing Deb 64bit on your system, and also possibly moving up to Koha 3.16, if you have to option to do those things.
Would the vSphere Hypervisor work for you? We've been playing with it here, and will probably use it for our next virtual machine server. http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/ Greg -- Greg Lawson Network Administrator Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.
