In both cases the crash occurs when a client message is processed. Of course that should not happen. What kind of VNC client to you use? Can you attach a debugger and get more details (e. g. line numbers)?
@stweil As VNC client i use Remmina running on Fedora Core 26, platform x86_64.
rpm -q remmina
remmina-1.2.0-0.42.20170908git205df66.fc26.x86_64
I do CI for iOS, thus I know hot to build with Xcode. This was actually my first attempt to compile anything for Macos. I have no experience with debugging with Xcode and have no idea how to attach debugger and get more details. Could you point me to some howto? Or would that help if I set the Xcode project not to strip binaries, would crashdump then include symbols and line numbers?
Not stripping the binaries might help to get more informative crash dumps. I don't know whether the debug information is really used to add line numbers, but chances are high, so it would be worth trying it. Most interesting is the line number in rfbProcessClientMessage
.
Is it when a screen saver starts or monitor turns off?
For system server, the issue is not related to screen saver, as it crashes immediately after start as soon as anyone tries to connect. Monitor is always-on HDMI dongle. For standard server, I do not know about screensaver.
released versions also crash?
@GoodMirek, could you please run a test with the latest release? In my tests the system server now works.
System server runs OK for me in High Sierra (FWIW). I did get a crash once running the "normal server" but the "restart if it crashes" thing seemed to kick in thankfully :)
@stweil Yes, it is already on my todo list. Thanks a lot for the new release.
I have installed 5.2.1. Both system server and normal server no longer crash for me in macos 10.13.2 (High Sierra)
@GoodMirek, thank you for the tests and your feedback.

Standard server is working for a while and then crashes. System server crashes immediately or almost immediately after start. Report for system server:Report for standard server:
Please let me know what further I can provide or how to help with troubleshooting.
