No, I can't reproduce the problem on ppc32 or x86_64 when running
Epiphany/Firefox locally. I can't say for sure about the possibility of an
architecture dependent bug, but for me this looks like the case (different
endianness).

I'll attach the traffic capture. It was collected with:

  # tcpdump -s 0 -n -w xorg-epiphany.cap -i eth0 port 6000

After I started tcpdump and Epiphany, it took less than one minute for the
assertion failure to happen. Please let me know if the values you mentioned
above are not in the capture and I'll patch the library to print them.

It's libX11 1.2.2. Sorry for not providing useful version numbers before.

We have 13 patches on xorg-x11-libX11, but none of them touch xcb files.

Here are the correct version numbers:

libxcb 1.5
xorg-server 1.6.5

Thanks for your prompt responses and attention.
