I'm not seeing core dumps when trying that with either the old or new
versions of vncviewer, nor do I see any bug reports in bugster under
solaris/xserver/vnc matching that description. We can take that
discussion offline to see if we can figure out what's going on with
that bug.
This update does not fix the limitation that while vncviewer is
capable of connecting to a RFB server over IPv6, the Xvnc server only
listens for incoming connections on IPv4. That's a limitation that
needs to be fixed upstream. (The vncviewer IPv6 support was
originally a Fedora addition to RealVNC we picked up, and which the
Fedora maintainer has integrated into TigerVNC upstream now.)
