VNC-Server 3.3.3r2 from YDL 2.2 tasty CD crashes

This likely won't help much, but here is a hint worth the paper it's 
printed on:

With the new XF4.2, I noticed that anything invoking xterm during X 
startup can crash the X server. This can be as innocuous as running 
an xterm command in .xinitrc. OTOH, if you do get X started, opening 
a good old xterm fails (although it won't crash the server in this 
case IME). Either way, the xterm error is just as you list above.

I have searched around a little on google, and the fatal xterm pty 
error is a known problem. But there seems to be some finger-pointing 
too, so it is not clear to me whether the problem is with xterm or 
the xserver.

I haven't had time to research it more, but I would love to see a 
clarification. Meanwhile, you might want to track down unintended use 
of xterm. Without knowing whether it will help, I suggest trying vnc 
with a nice lightweight WM like icewm or maybe blackbox.
