Yes the vncserver script.  It is just a perl wrapper for the Xvnc binary. 
Using an older version loses the new feature of using the /tmp area for
vnc files (which was added in 1.2.5, haven't looked at it so I don't know
details).  Another option that has been floated around is to comment out
part of the script that are causing errors, but I found it easier just to
use the 1.2.4 script.
