EFI Shell command -b option causes Firmware Crash

$

Hi,

I am using VMWare Player 14 on Windows 7 64 Host OS. I have a shell.efi application (64 bit) downloaded from this link  

It's from Intel's Tianocore EDK II project. I have created a Windows 7 64 Guest OS in UEFI mode.

 

When I run Shell.efi & enter a shell command followed by -b option to pause at page, the VMware Firmware Crashes.

The issue does not exist with the VMware's own built-in shell.

 

A command like

Help

works fine but the moment I pass

Help -b

the firmware crashes at the first page break.

 

Basically any applicable shell command that supports -b option, when invoked with -b causes VMware to crash.

Does anyone have any idea what could the fix here?

 

There's no issue on a real UEFI Hardware. On my real hardware 'help -b' runs just fine as expected.

 

Thanks.
