Unfortunately disable DRI didn't completely fix the issue. However, I've got a
nearly perfectly reproducible test case with one of our applications. The
application is nothing special, just a commercial backup program (Netvault from
a company called Bakbone). Opening the job window in this application,
maximizing it, and then closing the window causes the crash every time.

I've attached a patch which I pulled from the most recent FC7 version of the
package which seems to fix the issue for me. After rebuilding the RHEL5 4.1.2-9
version of the vnc package with only this single patch added I've found the
server to run stable.

I've got a patched src.rpm and binaries for x86 and x86_64 if anyone else wants
to test.
