fusion 6.0.1 clipboard broken, vmtoolsd.exe crashes

After upgrading my mac (host machine) to mavericks,

I upgraded from vmware fusion 5 pro to fusion 6 pro  (6.0.1) last weekend.

Since the upgrade to fusion 6.0.1 the clipboard is broken.  copy/paste between my host (mac) and my VM (windows XP)  does _not_ work.

This is probably causing it: A minute after starting op the VM (windows)  vmtoolsd.exe crashes.

details:

Error signature

This crash of vmtoolsd.exe happens every boot.

This used to work fine with vmware fusion 5.0
