This sound like Xvnc is dying. Try running Xvnc directly without the
vncserver wrapper:

% Xvnc :1

If it dies straight away then this is your problem. If it appears to stay up
then try from another xterm (or background Xvnc first):

% xdpyinfo -display :1

If this works then the vncserver script ought to.

Cheers
