OK, finally noted the error message:
"vt: argh driver_data is NULL!"
Fortunately, it down't happen every time, and even more fortunately, ext3 is good at recovering crashes.
I just upgraded VMware to 5.0.0, and upgraded my CentOS-4 guest machine to match, including changing the guest OS type setting from RHEL3 to RHEL4.
I now get this loop quite reliably on every attempt to shut down the guest OS *IF* I have the virtual CDROM device connected to the host CDROM but there is no disk in the host CDROM drive. If I disconnect the virtual CDROM, then the system shuts down cleanly.
