Annoying FreeBSD 6.2 behavior - takedown of VNC sessions

Since I've upgraded to 6.2-RELEASE, I've noticed that every few disconnects
(especially putting my laptop to sleep while still connected) while
connecting remotely to a VNC hosted on FreeBSD, it tanks my gnome-session
entirely.  I've tried a couple variations (exec, background or not), but
this never used to happen with 5.4-STABLE.  I use VNC specifically for the
purpose of being able to disconnect and not have it crash my windowing
sessions.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
