[Xcb] [Debian bug#415541] xmms lockup when libX11 1.1.1 uses XCB

[Brice Goglin]

Hi XCB maintainers,

Arthur Marsh reported on the Debian BTS 3 about weeks ago that libX11
1.1.1 was causing a lockup of its X server when running xmms. When
trying with libX11 1.1 with XCB *disabled*, the problem goes away.
Before possibly reassigning the bug to xmms, I would like to get
upstream opinion.
I am surprised that he gets a lockup, I would have expected crash of
xmms caused by a failed assertion instead. What do you think about this?

All the details are available at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=415541

Note that he is running xmms as root to get realtime priority, but he
apparently reproduced the problem as a normal user (see message from
"Thu, 22 Mar 2007 22:21:34 +1030").

Thanks,
Brice
