Occasional VNC Crash

[Owen Funkhouser]

I'm upgrading to version 4 now.  I was just curious to see if this 
problem has occurred in the past and if so, has it been fixed in version 
4?

I've been observing this behavior for 2 years and have yet to identify 
the circumstances around which the error occurs.  It always occurs at 
the point when I connect to the server.  The error only occurs on the 
server.  And it happens randomly.  The problem has become less frequent 
over the years and I don't know if it is due to bug fixes in RealVNC or 
bug fixes in newer versions of Microsoft Windows.
