Package: vncserver
Version: 3.3.7-7
Severity: normal

I'm using Xvnc to simulate another X terminal's display, for testing
purposes.  I need an 8-bit DirectColor visual, so I run:

  Xvnc -depth 8 -pixelformat RGB332 -cc 5 :1

This starts up fine, X clients can connect to it, and xdpyinfo shows
that the visual is correct, but when I run:

  xrfbviewer :1

Xvnc crashes:

  26/04/05 15:10:02 Got connection from client 0.0.0.0
  26/04/05 15:10:02 Protocol version 3.3
  26/04/05 15:10:02 Pixel format for client 0.0.0.0:
  26/04/05 15:10:02   32 bpp, depth 24, little endian
  26/04/05 15:10:02   true colour: max r 255 g 255 b 255, shift r 16 g 8 b 0
  26/04/05 15:10:02 rfbSetTranslateFunction: client is 32-bit trueColour, 
server has colour map
  Segmentation fault

Other configurations (like using TrueColor, -cc 4) work fine.

Xvnc also crashes immediately on startup when given invalid or strange
color configurations:

   Xvnc -depth 8  -pixelformat RGB888 -cc 4 :1  # segmentation fault
   Xvnc -depth 24 -pixelformat RGB880 -cc 4 :1  # floating point exception
