RealVNC Bug? "Rect Too Big", "ZRLE: not enough space for first line?", client update freeze

Hi,

I use the latest version of RealVNC with a multimonitor system, and I've 
experienced numerous problems with the server, and I think they are all 
related to the combined size of the screens: 3584 pixels across by 1024 
high. When connecting will full colour ZRLE the viewer shuts down 
immediately after I put in the password, and the server event log reads:

Connections: closed: 127.0.0.1::4070 (ZRLE: not enough space for first 
line?)

I have worked around this by using a lower colour depth. This works some 
of the time, but at seemingly random points during usage the client will 
die with "rect too big" shown in a message box (this is in Auto encoding 
mode, by the way). If this wasn't enough, again, at seemingly random 
intervals the image in the client will freeze the image it displays - 
not even requesting a refresh updates it to what is actually shown on 
the server PC. The odd thing is that during this time I can still 
interact with the server - opening applications etc even though I won't 
be able to see that happening on the client.

I would be very thankful for any suggestions as to how to resolve this!
