I use Fedora 12.  Many people are having the same kinds of problems with
TigerVNC crashing.  ABRT has reported VNCserver etc. as a crash for me
and since then about 20 other people have added their names to the list
with the same problem.  Since you are having problems in Debian, I guess
it means that the bug is up stream from the distribution.  You can check
here if you want:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552024

Hopefully, it will be fixed soon.
