Xvnc crash with Solaris and Color depth > 8

[Daryl Boyd]

I've been having a problem with Xvnc crashing (server crashes, not the viewer) when I run the server with a depth > 8, and run Mozilla on my solaris workstation.

I start vncserver as follows:
vncserver -geometry 1600x1200 -depth 24 (I've tried 16, 24 and 32, and different geometries)

Run the viewer as follows:
vncviewer -depth 24 -fullscreen <host>:1

I then open an xterm and start mozilla.
My default webpage displays no problem, the crash occurs when I go to some problematic websites.
(So far, I've found that Sourceforge, Redhat, Our internal bug reporting site, and a few otehrs cause the crash)
try: www.redhat.com

I've tried a few version of Mozilla, and they all cause the crash. Mozilla does run fine on my regular desktop (which is also set to 24 bit color)

I've done a search on the net, and found other with the same problem. The most usefull link is:

I contacted the original poster and he indicated that he didn't find a solution. He tracked it down to a spot where data is being written past the end of a buffer but didn't understand the code. He is now running the server on a linux box and everything works fine.

Anyone have a solution? Need mroe info? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Daryl
