3036: Crash during compressor run

[steveward]

Under certain circumstances, Parallels compressor CRASHES 3036 near the end of the
"preparing to compact" phase. The symptom is that the VM spontaneously stops running,
dimming the console screen; when restarted (eg by clicking the PLAY button) it crashes
nearly immediately. I've emailed osx crash logs to reports@parallels.com.

I initially blamed this on short disk space: it's reasonable that space for an extra copy
of the hdd file be required, and my early encounters were cured by freeing up more
disk. But I now have repeatable examples of crashes during compression with plenty
of disk space, so there's clearly some other bug ...

Several of us have had this happen. More about it in this thread.

Parallels compressor just stops at this point (see pic: http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3276/screenshot01fb2.jpg) and does nothing anymore. I have been waiting for 1 hour and I tried it again and again.

When I press the green start button at the right hand side then the window gets his light back and 10 seconds later Parallels/Windows crashes. Don`t no good for me.

I have the same issue, is there a resolution to this?
