YSK, What version of vnc.so are you using? (This will be logged to the X server's log file on startup e.g. to /var/log/XFree86.0.log on many systems).
Are you using a very recent X server on the Linux system? Can you try reproducing the problem and then try pinging the Linux machine to verify that it is only the X process that has hung? The only explanation for this sort of behaviour that we've found is that the graphics card drivers don't implement the require image-grab call properly, and manage to hang the graphics card. Can I ask which brand of card you are using?
