Description Thomas 2011-10-04 06:47:57 UTC
Description of problem:
While the network broken between the VNC server and the VNC client, the VNC server's X11 desktop froze under the condition of big amount of screen fresh/delta. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RealVNC free edition 4.0, vnc.so 

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Establish a VNC session between a VNC server and a VNC client. 
2. Open a xterm on the VNC server, 
   then enlarge the opened xterm window as large as possible
3. In the opened xterm window:
   login as user 'root'                      : $ su -
   execute command to let screen keep update : # ls -l /
4. Pull off network cable from the VNC client.   
  
Actual results:
The VNC Server window froze immediately or keep updating for a short period then window froze.

Expected results:
The VNC Server window should keep updating, no matter the client session was broken or not.

Since RHEL4 is in the 3rd support phase, only critical bugs are fixed. Please update to newer RHEL and check if this problem is still present there. If yes, please reopen this ticket.

Closing.
