After a random amount of time using rdesktop, it segfaults using Debian 
Testing on the x86 platform.

I assume this is a Debian problem since nobody else is complaining about 
it.  What would be the next steps?  To install the various *-debug 
libraries rdesktop invokes, get another coredump and do a backtrace?
