If the application works on RDP client version 7 (Windows), but,  
crashes on RDP client version 5 (rdesktop), then there might be an  
issue that the application is expecting something in RDP that rdesktop  
does not support.

A good test would be to run Windows 2000 RDP client (RDP 5) and see if  
the application crashes.
