Possible fix

Does this xserver patch fix the crash?
Comment 5 Thomas Haider 2010-04-08 03:00:27 UTC 
Yes, the crash no longer occurs with this patch applied. Thanks for looking into it.
Comment 6 Michel Dänzer 2010-04-08 03:19:00 UTC 
Thanks for testing it.

BTW this indicates that the client is using a picture without any defined contents as the source of a Composite operation, which seems pointless at best but might even result in visual corruption - do you notice any?
Comment 7 Thomas Haider 2010-04-08 03:40:31 UTC 
No, haven't seen any corruption. Is there a way of finding out whats causing this?

> Is there a way of finding out whats causing this?

Might be tricky... One possibility might be to reproduce the crash while running Firefox with --sync, attaching gdb to Firefox and setting a breakpoint in a strategic place which allows seeing which Xlib call causes the X display connection to drop. But I don't know offhand where that breakpoint could be placed.
Comment 9 Thomas Haider 2010-04-12 01:56:36 UTC 
Okay, I will try and see if I can come up with some results.
Comment 10 Michel Dänzer 2010-04-15 01:46:57 UTC 
Fix has landed in xserver master.
