[olug] rdesktop won't complete login

I have a Windows box that has a SSH connection to a Linux box with a
tunnel on port 3389 (the remote desktop port).  On the linux side,
when I run "rdesktop localhost", I do get the login prompt for the
Windows machine, and can login.  But then it stops (all I see is a
blue screen) and I eventually get a "broken pipe" error after several
minutes.

I've looked on the Windows Event log and see nothing wrong.  Does
anyone here have ideas?
