It turns out that it was an error with the memory allocated to the VM.
I had allocated 2G (the VMWare default was 512M) and the memory image was almost 4G. When
I increased the VM RAM to 8G everything worked.
Lucky my host has 64G RAM!

Hi Sean,
It seems very strange that you’d get a different number of processes with each run.
Coupled with the IOError and the path being /mnt/hgfs (VMware host to guest), I would try
to first rule out something weird with VMware Tools data transfer. Can you copy the memory
dump into your virtual machine and run Volatility against the local file?

I just build a VM with Debian (I needed to install other packages) and when I run this on
a memory image I get the following (after about 10 minutes). The pslist.txt file is
partially populated though how far it gets differs with each run.
The box is Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1. The image was acquired using FTK. The box is
believed to be infected with malware.

Thanks for any help.
