VNC WinNT4.0 Viewer Crashes on Startup

[Steve Schicht]

Hello!
Has anyone encountered this problem?

The situation...
- latest vncserver on RH6.0 intel machine
- latest vncviewer on WinNT4.0 machine
- first viewer connection after starting server works fine
- _sometimes_ second viewer connection cause the viewer to die
    - terminate a working viewer and then start it a day later
    - viewer puts up machine connection dialog
    - viewer puts up passwd dialog
    - viewer puts up window with black pixels...for a split second
    - viewer silently dies
- Once this behavior starts, all connections attemps fail until server
restart
- No error messages in log file

I recall finding a message with a search that suggested this could happen if
vncserver was started in the .vnc directory. Yes, that fixed the problem
for several people. But currently, the "viewer of death" happens on and off
for a no known reason.

I really need to debug this thing and need some suggestions on how to debug
it.

thanks in advance,

Steve
