For the past few weeks, AppleVNCServer (aka screen sharing) crashes when you connect to it. It’s on a Mac mini running Mac OS X Server 10.5.8. Here’s the relevant bit from system.log:
Oct 3 14:17:35 minnie ReportCrash[12942]: Formulating crash report for process AppleVNCServer[12874]

Nothing too interesting there, so here’s the crash log it mentions:

Here’s where I reach the limits of my knowledge. It looks like the system is pointing its finger at thread 4 as the culprit, and thread 4 looks like it’s loaded up the libSystem and Carbon libraries. So perhaps one of those core system libraries are corrupted? I tried re-applying the 10.5.8 combo update (since that will overwrite a lot of libraries with the latest version, just in case) to no effect, and I removed all the VNC- and Remote Desktop-related files in /Library/Preferences/ without any luck, either.
Obviously I could do an archive or erase and install and it’d take care of the issue, but I’m interested in actually sussing out the cause and pinpointing it. Any suggestions are welcome at this point!
UPDATED – Nov. 19th, 2009
A few days after posting this I noticed that while connecting to the VNC server with Mac OS X’s built-in VNC client (called by choosing “Connect to Server…” from the “Go” menu in Finder and providing it a “vnc://ip.goes.here” URL) incurs the crash of the server, connecting to it with Apple’s Remote Desktop application doesn’t. So, I’ve got a workaround, but still no solution. I’m going to try to chase this down in the next couple weeks, hopefully I’ll be able to pinpoint the cause.
