[Xcb] Memory corruption with xbindkeys and xcb 1.7-2 (debian)

[Oliver McFadden]

Hi,

I am not sure whether this is a known issue, but anyway, I am seeing
xbindkeys crashing after a few button presses. Perhaps this should go to
the xbindkeys developers, but I'm reasonably sure this is a bug in xcb.

You can reproduce it as follows:

1. Start xbindkeys in non-daemon mode so you can see the errors:
	xbindkeys -n
2. Using my configuration, press the ThinkPad volume up/down keys a few
times. (Note you can change the keys to anything you like, if you don't
have volume keys.)

In the attached log file you can see it only required two key presses
(volume down, volume up) before xbindkeys crashed. Unfortunately I don't
have debug symbols for these packages so the log is a bit obscure.

I've also provided my xbindkeys configuration.

-- Oliver.
