Gentoo Linux x86 tightvnc crashes mainly using eclipse

[Darryl W. <dar...@sh...>]

Greetings,

I have been having a problem with the Linux VNC server for years.  The VNC
server will just crash.  No error, nothing.  The client is Windows XP.
The server is currently running on Gentoo 2005.1, but I have had it running
on Mandrake 10.0 and Redhat 9.0.  All have the same problem.

I had been using pre-compiled binaries, but when I upgrade to Gentoo it
installed from source.

The vncserver is currently 1.3_alpha5 but it has happen with other version
as well.   The client 1.2.9 and I have tried other version and other forks.

It mainly happens(99% of the time) when I am using Eclipse.  I haven't seen
it on other Java GUIs, but I don't use that many Java GUIs

Any ideas on what is cause this and/or how to prevent it?

thanks
