Given the error message this is clearly a bug in VMWare, not in Minix.
You can check on their website whether you have the newest version;
maybe this has been fixed.
Is there a specific reason you want to run 3.1.3? I would generally
recommend that you use 3.1.2a, which is more stable than 3.1.3. ISTM
3.1.3 is mostly useful if you want to get bleeding edge Minix from SVN;
for normal usage 3.1.2a is more suitable. Maybe 3.1.2a will not trigger
the VMWare bug.

Yes, you can look directly into the source control here:
https://gforge.cs.vu.nl/plugins/scms...hp/?root=minix
AFAIK branches contains the released versions; 3.1.3 seems to be in the
r3.1.3 subdirectory. If you want the most up-to-date code, take a look
at the trunk directory.
