Definitely should not be happening.  Since it's likely related to
TurboVNC, my suggestion would be to build the TurboVNC Server from
source and include debugging information in the build:

    sudo apt-get install gcc make git cmake libpam0g-dev libsm-dev
libice-dev libxext-dev libssl-dev
    git clone https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc.git
    cd turbovnc
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DTVNC_BUILDNATIVE=0 -DTVNC_BUILDJAVA=0
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
    make

Now launch the server with:

    ulimit -c 10000000
    bin/vncserver -debug

When the server crashes, it should leave a core file.  Load that core
file into gdb:

    gdb bin/Xvnc {core file}

Type 'where' in gdb to print a stack trace.

Create an issue in the TurboVNC GitHub tracker:
https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/new

and post the following:

    -- The stack trace you obtained above
    -- The console output from the TurboVNC Server
    -- What version of the RealVNC Viewer you were using (example: 4.1.2)
    -- What client O/S you were using (examples: Windows 7, iOS 9, macOS
Sierra)
    -- What RFB encoding you were using (examples: Hextile, ZRLE)

All of that aside, while it is a bug for the RealVNC Viewer to crash the
TurboVNC Server, and I definitely want to fix that bug, I also cannot
recommend using the RealVNC Viewer.  The TurboVNC Viewer will be
necessary in order to achieve full performance with our server.
