Package: vnc4server
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-21~debug
Severity: normal

I kept hitting this issue (and #428305) for a while. I believe also that
428305 is related. Now I got VNC stuck and I think that I had a screen
in ssh session running within VNC -- that one got stuck too.
Now a bit more of information. I have been running non-stripped VNC
but I kept doing the same silly thing -- closing VNC client whenever I
see that it got stuck -- so I am left now with trace from the server
only (I will complement this bug report whenever I hit the issue again).

So, the server:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  8142 yoh       25   0  354m 344m 2864 R   93  4.3  24:26.79 Xvnc4 :1
   -desktop ravana:1 (yoh) -auth /home/yoh/.Xauthority -geometry
   1024x768 -depth 16 -rfbwait 30000 -rfbauth /home/yoh/.vnc/passwd
   -rfbport 5901 -pn -fp unix/:7100 -co /etc/X11/rgb    

which I started from command line with
vncserver -fp unix/:7100  -geometry 1024x768 :1

and f%%ck... it happened again. It happened before -- if I connect with
strace or gdb to that pid and the detach -- some times it causes server
to crash completely. Ok - here is what I got time to get:
$> strace -fF -p 8142 | head -10
Process 8142 attached - interrupt to quit
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xe)                       = 56
clone(child_stack=0,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0x2af358245160) = ? ERESTARTNOINTR (To be restarted)

and the same msg was looped until I hit Ctrl-C which killed strace and
Xvnc4 too... And I didn't keep the backtrace from the gdb... but
whenever I connected to it it was at fork() call comming somewhere from
authenticaiton pipeline since I was trying to connect the beast.

I will complement bug report more whenever I hit the issue again (if I
don't switch to smth else).
