Hi Kevin,
please could you set the infrastructure (as stated in comment #4) up and running again? Otherwise we are unable to reproduce and test fix and thus ack this bug.

Using the following command:

$ rdesktop xx.xx.xx.xx -r disk:home=.

I was able to successfully log into a Windows 2008 Server R2 system without a segmentation fault using rdesktop-1.6.0-7.

Verified.
