    I'm on MBP, 3GHz, 1GB RAM, running Beta 5 with Windows XP. I tried to suspend the VM and it hung -- the message to wait while VM was suspending was still there after > 2 hours. Meanwhile, I tried working in other apps, but I got numbers when I pressed letter keys; for other keys nothing happened when I pressed them. I force-quit Parallels, quit all other apps (Apple-Q didn't work b/c keyboard was mapping incorrectly, but quitting from the file menu worked OK), and rebooted my MBP. The keyboard was back to normal funcitoning, and Parallels started up OK -- giving its usual warning about starting up a running machine that it gives when restared after a crash.

    Has anyone seen anything like this? Any idea what happened?
