Created attachment 399153 [details] upstream patch
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.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: When connecting to a Windows Server 2008 machine, receiving a redirect could cause the rdesktop client to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This update applies a patch that fixes this error, and receiving a redirect from Windows Server 2008 no longer causes rdesktop to crash.
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.
