Something is wrong with vncreflector.  When I try to start it, as directed in step #1 
below, I see this in /var/log/messages:

Feb 19 08:02:34 k12ltsp xinetd[2818]: START: vnc-800x600x16 pid=4200 from=127.0.0.1
Feb 19 08:02:34 k12ltsp vncreflector: *** buffer overflow detected ***: vncreflector 
terminated
Feb 19 08:02:34 k12ltsp xinetd[2818]: EXIT: vnc-800x600x16 status=0 pid=4200 duration=0(sec)

Any idea what would cause a buffer overflow?
