[vbox-dev] Guests abort when resizing

[Perry Halbert]

gdb shows:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x00007f717ea0f4e2 in VNCServerImpl::VRDEUpdate 
(hServer=0x7f7178002bc0, uScreenId=<optimized out>, 
pvUpdate=0x7f7153fe0338, cbUpdate=<optimized out>) at 
/trunk/src/VBox/ExtPacks/VNC/VBoxVNC.cpp:457

libvncserver0 = 0.9.8.2

Dump is over 200MB.  Needless to say this is going to take sometime for 
me to figure out.  I can ftp it to appsdev if you like.
