Since the latest update, libx11 does sanity checks on this parameter, and XCreateImage() returns NULL. Since rdesktop never checks the value returned by this function, it segfaults. rdesktop probably assumes that bytes_per_line is related to depth*width, instead of bpp*width, so it should either fix that or use a value of bytes_per_line of 0, which lets Xlib calculate the correct value.
