Embarrassingly, I wrote "Ubuntu Mint" in the bug report (there is no such OS but some people use that term to mean "Linux Mint." Rather, I had this bug on Ubuntu MATE Utopic, not Linux Mint. It may also exist on Mint but I have not verified this. I apologize for the wrong information I gave in my bug report.
I'm editing the report and changing the distro/package back to open-vm- tools (Ubuntu), but if there's an independent reason to believe this affects other distros/projects, then by all means anyone may feel free to make any further appropriate changes. ** Description changed: - A kernel panic occurred while shutting down an Ubuntu Mint (Utopic) + A kernel panic occurred while shutting down an Ubuntu MATE (Utopic) amd64 system running in a VMware Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310 virtual machine with VMware Tools installed. Messages appeared to indicate a problem in one of the vmware kernel modules as the cause. Details collected by apport appeared that they may be sufficient to identify the cause specifically. I hope so, since I don't have any information about any actions I may have taken to trigger this panic (or to have prevented it in the past).
