Jeff,
I've mangaged to build RealVNC 3.3.7 on HP-UX 10.20, but like you, I get
core dumps when using it. By playing with the viewer's "-encoding" flag,
and watching the Xvnc log file, I've convinced myself that the ZRLE
encoding is the culprit - as soon as the server tries to enable ZRLE, it
dies.
If you're running VNC across a LAN, you can disable ZRLE in favor of
one of the other encodings (probably hextile).
If you have a slow (DSL, cable, or dialup) link bewteen server and viewer,
then I'd recommend using TightVNC with tight encoding. TightVNC builds
on HP-UX 10.20 with only a few config file tweaks, and I have good evidence
that my TightVNC 1.2.8 server binary also runs fine on HP-UX 11.00.
