RDC broken after installing KB956744 and/or KB969947

On random computers, after installing one of the above patches to XP Pro, we
get a lockup condition when logging in remotely, requiring a hard power off.
The computer completely freezes up. Uninstalling the update fixes the problem.
Has anyone else heard of this problem?
