Hi!

Version 1.8.2-3 of rdesktop tends to segfault quite often which is fixed
by upgrading to 1.8.3-1 from unstable. Since we can't migrate 1.8.3-1 into
testing due to the freeze right now, the particular fix for the segfault
will need to be backported.

Here a demonstration which can be reproduced on several computers at the
department here. I haven't tested this on a fresh Jessie installation
yet installed through a current version of Debian Installer.
