vncserver crashes on fedora core 2 (xorg)

[John Rayburn]

We use vnc to peer program at our company.  We are all running Fedora Core 
2.  The following is how we do this:

vncserver -AlwaysShared -geometry 1600x1200
vncviewer 127.0.0.1:1

So I connect to my local vncserver and another developer connects.

However, after a few minutes the vncserver crashes, leaving no Xvnc 
processes running, but the locks files remain.   I've done a fair bit of 
searching, and I have seen that people have had crashes when running on 
Fedora Core 2 and some seem possibly related to the Xorg usage, however I've 
found no fixes.  I tried installing the binaries from realvnc.com, and the 
crashes continue, both on my machine and when connected to another machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  If there is any more information 
that I can provide, please let me know.

Thanks!

I've included the vncserver log at the end of this message.
