Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error message

Description of problem:
Using virt-viewer on a Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server (virtualized with XenServer 6.0 or 6.2) to connect via spice to Windows 7 Pro x64 (virtualized with KVM on Debian Wheezy) crashes after some minutes doing different things (doesn't matter) with always the same error message (see attachment).
Doing the same from a local Windows 7 Pro machine no error occurs. Virt-viewer runs stable here.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtviewer 0.5.6 and 0.5.7
spice-protocol 0.12.3
spice 0.12.5
kvm 1.4.2
kernel 2.6.32

How reproducible:
Simply working some minutes inside virt-viewer spice session (other sessions like vnc not tested, because not needed).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open spice session on Windows 2008 TS
2. click here and there...
3. open some programs like mspaint and draw a picture or write a letter...

Actual results:
Virt-viewer crashes with a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" error message. After confirmation of error Windows 2008 TS closes (or kills) virt-viewer.

Expected results:
no crash.

Additional info:
No problem with virt-viewer and spice session an local machines

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2019-03-21 15:11:07 UTC
I can't say I've seen the crash referenced here, but I'd hope after 5 years it has been fixed without us knowing explicitly. The current virt-viewer windows support is much  better tested these days.

Feel free to reopen or file a new bug if seeing crashes.
