VMWare 6 seems to be the cause of some of mine. I resolved it by making sure it's suspended prior to system sleep.

I wonder if the most recent VMWare version would help.

Interesting you got yours to work (VMWare 6) - mine's never worked since I upgraded to 6. $50 upgrade down the drain, no workable support, no one can reproduce it or track down an issue from my logs. :(
It helped a little but still crashes for me. I have the same issues with VMWare latest version.
Does suspending the VM help you?
Sorry to reply to my own message, but I just found this [1] where the recommendation is:

"I managed to fix this by going to the Virtual Machine Settings, clicking Advanced, and then checking the "Pass power status to VM" checkbox."

Haven't tested extensively, but I haven't had a crash in the past day.

Thanks! I will try this and let you know.
I have to quit VMWare Fusion or run the risk of spontaneous reboots while it's asleep.
It does. No crashes if VM is not running.
