            Bug ID: 222797
           Summary: open-vm-tools-nox11 not able execute file
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc

Using vsphere guest customization it is not possible to execute file on GUEST
using open-vm-tools. 

First problem is that it looks like vmware tools are not working OK if locale
is set to "C", but this is easy to fix - add "export lang=en_US.UTF-8" in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd. Then there is no more errors in file
/var/log/vmware-vmsvc.log.

But this do not resolve the script execution problem. When I try to execute
script using open-vm-tools, then I get such error:
[   error] [vmsvc] Unable to execute the ""/upload/test.sh"" shell command: Bad
address

If you look in open-vm-tools source:
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/e0a7b4e98bd6d6af06d31212dfdc82610d37e4d3/open-vm-tools/lib/procMgr/procMgrPosix.c

Then you can see that on line 1381 is command which prints out the error and
before that is execve or execv.

At the moment I do not have any ideas what is wrong.
Tried with clean 11.0 and 11.1 install.

~ 1 year before FreeBSD with open-vm-tools worked as expected.
