No, it can't be a VMWare problem, or at least, the more likely option
is that it runs out of entropy in /dev/random. It reads bytes from
/dev/random to generate UUIDs, but reading from /dev/random is a
blocking operation (problem with APR). You could recompile your APR to
link to /dev/urandom which isn't cryptographic quality, but you
probably don't need that for UUIDs...
Note that other applications might use the same APR routines to do
crypto work though. Be sure you know what you do when replacing your
APR versions.

Erik.
