That bug claims xvnc4viewer supports the AdderLink server, so I looked at
their client code. They don't have an explicit workaround for this server.
Their logic is simply:

   if version < 3.3
        close the connection
   else if  version >= 3.3 and < 3.8
        use version 3.3
   else if version >= 3.8
        use version 3.8

So the last branch handles the 4.0 version number by pretending it is
version 3.8
