Hi,

Thanks very much for your reply! I'm glad to hear you have ZRLE cracked, 
but could you please add an entry to the known bugs page 
(http://www.realvnc.com/v4/known-bugs.html) to help poor souls like me 
who experience this issue?

I've played with the viewer using Hextile for a few minutes giving it a 
really high load to contend with, and so far no "Rect too big" messages 
have come up - great! Sadly, the update freeze issue is hard to 
reproduce.. I've seen it occur twice over my LAN but it is more often 
over a (really slow!) HTTP tunneled connection. In any case, I'll do 
some more testing in the morning to see if I can get you more 
information to work with, and post back here if anything of note comes up.

Thanks again!

Max
