Aren't we getting a bit technical here, guys? I guess the nature and reason for the bug must be taken into account. The question must be asked, though, why build an exact copy of VNC (bugs and all) when you can make up your own remote control program? If theirs is similar enough to have the same

Connection Refused when the server is not logged in?
