Describe the bug

On AlmaLinux9 (kernel 5.14), x11vnc crashes about every minute or two when a MacOS client is connected. (Log says "Client Protocol Version 3.3")

To Reproduce

Launch x11vnc under a systemd unit and watch the log while a client is connected to it (on MacOS open vnc://localhost:5901):

Jan 10 19:29:25 pc x11vnc[10164]: 10/01/2025 19:29:25 created selwin: 0x1400055

Jan 10 19:29:31 pc systemd[1]: Stopped x11vnc on port 5901.
Jan 10 19:29:31 pc systemd[1]: Started x11vnc on port 5901.
Jan 10 19:29:31 pc x11vnc[10170]: 10/01/2025 19:29:31 passing arg to libvncserver: -passwd

I also think it crashes immediately when a window is moved.

Additional context

I understand that it is not maintained and don't expect a fix.
