Somebody else seems to have posted about a similar error on the
mac.rdc newsgroup... I am out of ideas as it sounds like this is a
problem with the RDC client software... I don't boot up my old Mac
(has Jaguar on it - I got it for troubleshooting at the office), but
I'll start it up Monday and see if I can repro it...
