VMWare Workstation 14, Windows VMs crashing when using tab complete in Cygwin bash shell

We're using VMWare Workstation 14 Pro (14.1.3 build-9474260) and have several Windows VMs (some Windows 7, some Windows 10) with Cygwin installed. We were having problems with VMs crashing (as in, the guest would suddenly shut down/power off) while we were working in them, but they'd run fine for days when idle. We finally realized that the crashes always happened when we were working in a Cygwin bash shell, when using tab complete. Specifically, it seems that if we try to tab complete multiple times when there aren't any completions, the VM will crash.

 

Has anyone else run into this, and is there a better place to report a bug in VMWare? This doesn't happen using Cygwin outside of a VM.
