I ask this question here if the problem has a connection in how Mageia use systemctl.
I'm using ThinkPad W701. Mageia 3 x86-64. I have used VMware Workstation 9.0.2 before an upgrade done this morning to 9.0.3
The installationprogram ended with the message "install succeded".
But...
The restart of vmware failed.
when I tried to start vmware in a terminal window I get this message:
[jan]$ vmware
Logging to /tmp/vmware-jan/vmware-modconfig-22041.log
PANIC /build/mts/release/bora-1410761/bora/lib/unicode/unicodeCommon.c:330
Avbruten (SIGABRT)
[jan$
In the logfile this is the end of a long report:

The result will be the same when I try to start as root.
A restart of Mageia doesn't help.
Anyone that have any sugestions?
