Using virtualbox 4.2.16 with the RDP screen of the virtual machines.
When I start a virtual machine and start typing, rdesktop 1.8.0 freezes.
rdesktop 1.7.1 works fine.
Steps to reproduce:
Use virtualbox and start a virtual machine, try to attach a desktop with rdesktop.
Press a key, for instance, try to log in.
I can confirm this as well. 1.7.1 works, 1.8.1 freezes.
Gentoo 64-bit.
I ran a bisect (using git-svn). I had to manually backport r1732 (d4cfb09fb2ab28bae1387fcd39742a415b70832b) to allow the UI to start, for several commits. That bisect points to:
69d84ba659a75b612640382c4080fb7ec3ce3566 is the first bad commit
commit 69d84ba659a75b612640382c4080fb7ec3ce3566
