We are seeing the same problem here.
Could this have something to do with localisation? I.e. conversion from
one locale/codepage to another causes the string form the server to become
an unexpected length?

The error occurs in "rdp.c" in the method:
rdp_in_unistr(STREAM s, char *string, in WINDOWS_CODEPAGE, g_codepage,
(int) iconv_h);

Message:
We also have this problem. When we try to access out TS-environment that
are using Session Broker Load Balancing on Windows 2008 rdesktop would seg
fault every time with the following reason:

WARNING: rdp_in_unistr: iconv fail, errno 22
WARNING: Unexpectedly large redirection cookie
WARNING: server sent an unexpectedly long string, truncating
Segmentation fault

It would be great if you could assign this bug to someone and give it a
bit higher priority since Windows 2008 TS-environments with Session Broker
Load Balacing is more often seen at companies all over the world. Thanks in
advance!

We also have the same problem, the other problem is that you have to log on
two times. As you first log on to the loadbalancing master and when it has
choosen a server for you it doesn't remember the username and password.
