osx viewer + fedora vnc server

[tim+realvnc.com@coote.org]

Hullo
I've searched the web and the documentation about this issue but to no avail. I've used vnc for several years now on linux (redhat/fedora) and windows and I'm just setting up a mac. I've always used realvnc where it's available and found the products to be stable and easy to set up. On the mac (leopard), the osx viewer just keeps dropping the connection to my vncservers on fedora 8 and fedora 9. interworking with linux and xp pro has always been stable.  'chicken of the vnc seems to be stable. connections fail whether I'm portforwarding thro' ssh or not.

The issue looks like a pointer problem somewhere (osx complains about an attempt to access protected memory), but I'm stumped to find any better debugging information.

Here's the top of the report. Any pointers (no pun) as to how to chase this down, gratefully accepted.
