For what it's worth, it's a bug in Apple's client which despite them 
claiming to "use the industry standard VNC" (whatever that means) 
clearly violates the VNC specs by replying with a boggus protocol 
version number.

I told them 5 years ago but it's not like they care about respecting 
standards...
