Description Benjamin Monate 2006-03-07 00:51:05 UTC 
While moving a scrollbar in a Motif application, I can deterministically lock
the Xserver.
Debugging with symbols shows this backtrace :

Comment 1 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 2006-03-07 08:49:13 UTC 
Can you try with 6.9 or 7.0 ?
Comment 2 Benjamin Monate 2006-03-08 21:50:15 UTC 
Same symptoms with xorg 7.0.
If you can provide a static binary with symbols, I can try it and check where it
is locked in 7.0.
Comment 3 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 2006-03-09 08:23:57 UTC 
Why would you need a static binary ?
Comment 4 Benjamin Monate 2006-03-09 19:57:19 UTC 
I just need a binary with debbuging symbols that would run on my Ubuntu 5.10
distro without breaking my existing installation.
Comment 5 Daniel Stone 2007-02-27 01:30:47 UTC 
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Comment 6 Benjamin Close 2008-05-19 19:32:47 UTC 
This is a common bug, not specific to linux/an arch. Marking as duplicate as the other bug report has more info
