Ok. Even with extensions I couldn't reproduce it with linux in the VM, 
but I could reproduce it with XP with Guest Additions in the VM.

The real problem is that VirtualBox AFAICS sends bogus data. I have 
reported that in http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8053 .

Garbage in, garbage out. There is no good way to handle garbage.

0.8.2 won't notice the problem and will unknowingly ignore [what seems 
to be] extra data from the server. That could have been freerdp's fault 
and it could have caused problems later. Debugging such later problems 
without knowing the real problem would have been tough.

In master the problem is detected and xfreerdp stops immediately so the 
miscommunication won't cause bigger problems and we can get it fixed 
properly.

If I analyzed the problem correctly the only right way to fix it is that 
VirtualBox fixes it.
