our scenario (all machines under gentoo linux):
A. tigervnc vncviewer builded with system libjpegturbo, but running
with original libjpeg on other machine.
B. tigervnc server started with "vncserver :xx".
C. xorgserver with tigervnc module listen on port 5900.

attempt to connect from A to B: vncviewer B:xx
vncviewer crashed with "Unsupported color conversion request"
vncserver on B crashed with "Bogus input colorspace"

attempt to connect from A to C: vncviewer C:5900
vncviewer crashed with "Unsupported color conversion request"
xorgserver on C crashed with "Bogus input colorspace"

common/jpeg/jccolor.c has some occurrences of
ERREXIT(cinfo, JERR_BAD_IN_COLORSPACE);
which cause vncserver to exit (or X-server if running in module).

i think these malformed requests must be ignored by vncserver and only
logged to errors.
