I am getting a protocol error when doing a reverse connection from a 1.1.8.0 server to RealVNC Viewer on listening on a Mac. Is this due to the above issue?

Have you set an empty server passwd ?

Source was aleady modified, i will compîle some test version with fix and try
to upload it before the weekend

No i am using a set password.

It seems to work on the first connection i make but then if i close and make another connection to the same viewer i get this error.

Second time trying to connect i get the error: RFB protocol error: bad xrle data

Third time trying to connect i get this error: RFB protocol error: unknown message type 24

1.1.8.0 has been updated with a fixed winvnc.exe (protocol bug) version.
winvnc.exe is replaced by 1.1.8.1

Tried using the update executable (product version 1.1.8.1) and still getting the same thing. The very first connection from a windows 8 machine comes through ok but then any other connections from the same windows 8 machine fail with the following errors.
