Dash is also breaks install and usage of some Vmware products. Such as Vmware server install (workaround: use "perl vmware-install.pl" instead of simply execute "vmware-install.pl").
It breaks Vmware mui's /etc/init.d/httpd.vmware file also. The install workaround is the same as above. But for proper operation the init script should be changed and it is recommended to install it with /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash.
