VNC hangs after long connection time

[Todd Aiken]

Greetings all.  I have a Pentium 100 running Win 98 and a custom VB app 
that I use to serve digital music throughout my home via an FM stereo 
transmitter.  To control this PC from my network, I run the latest VNCserver, 
and have a few other Windows 98 machines that I connect to it with.  One of 
these is a dedicated monitoring station-it runs VNC full screen with a shared 
connection all the time.  I find that after a few days, VNCServer will start to 
slow down (the dedicated viewer doesn't update as fast as it used to) and 
then will eventually lock up, causing the viewer to stop updating.  If I close 
the viewer, I am unable to reconnect.  To restore functionality, I have to go 
down to the server, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL (I can't right click on the task bar icon 
to close it), and end the VNCServer task, which is not responding.  I can 
then restart it and it will continue to run for another couple of days.  
Sometimes I also get on the server a dialog box saying "The system is 
dangerously low on resources!  Would you like to terminate the following 
application?" and if I say Yes to VNCServer, it disappears and everything 
continues to run normally.  Has anybody else had similar problems?
