Hi all,

I am having issues with running tightvnc-server on a CentOS 5.1 x86_64
machine (currently up-to-date, kernel 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5).
Occasionally, the Xvnc instance will just crash, taking with it
everything that I was running.  When it crashes, it seems to do so
when I try to open some GUI program.  So, for instance, I click on a
shortcut to open a program, and poof, it crashes.  But it does not
crash every time.  At times it is usable for a long time.

I believe tightvnc is available from rpmforge.

$ rpm -qa | grep tightvnc
tightvnc-server-1.3.9-1.el5.rf
tightvnc-1.3.9-1.el5.rf

Is anyone else using tightvnc?  Is anyone having any trouble with it?
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

Here are the last few messages from the log file after one of these crashes:
