rdesktop freezes entire desktop (until I kill it)

(Probably not related to rdesktop, but on my remote side via rdesktop when 
I try to get to a vmware console the connection always hangs. Some 
networking issue as I can't even ping then.)

So back to rdesktop -- it is hanging (due to now broken networking).

Sometimes I can't kill rdesktop with Ctrl-C at the xterm I started it at 
and can't close it with the window manager.

Soon my other xterms get frozen -- can't type in them. And then about 30 
seconds later my window manager itself is frozen -- I can no longer drag 
windows nor open any menus.

So I ssh into the system, kill rdesktop, and then my desktop is usable 
again.

I have had this problem off-and-on probably 20 times over the past six 
months. I don't know what versions of rdesktop I used all during that 
time. (Note that it doesn't always fail as I use rdesktop maybe hundreds 
of times fine during same time.)

I am currently using rdesktop-1.5.0 on NetBSD.

What in rdesktop can make my entire X temporarily fail (until I kill 
rdesktop)?

My X is xorg server 1.3.0.0 using xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0. My window manager 
is jwm v1.8 (but I also had same problem with newer jwm, like 2.0.1).

I tried to ktrace the hung rdesktop process, but that didn't get in 
details.
