I was playing with the latest pydbg from the trac's zip.
When setting a HW breakpoint remotely for a process running on a Parallels Windows VM, the machine dies instantly as soon as I resume execution, Parallels crashes badly.
Has anybody else faced such behavior?

Nope, but I haven't played with paralells much either. If you use OllyDbg or Immunity do you get the same behaviour? If it's a bug in Paralells you might be looking at a VM escape :D

The last time I used pydbg the hardware breakpoints were borked.  I know Pedram fixed it in some version... not sure if it's in the trac repository.

Yeah, in the version that comes with the Paimei hosted i OpenRCE I get an error just trying to set a HW bp.
I downloaded the latest zip from the trac repo.
I can, at least, set the bp but it's Parallels that goes k-boom... I'll try to test with other tools to see if it's just that Parallels can't cope with something.
