The file xcb_io.c isn't in libxcb, but in libX11. This assertion was added in
commit 933aee1d5c53b0cc7 (part of release 1.3.4) and was replaced in commit
761b8aa0c9b3c58c478ac (part of release 1.4.4). So your version of libX11 must be
somewhere in between. Also, I can tell you that this is a race between threads.
However, I don't know much more than this, sorry.

So the important part: Not a problem in xcb.

Cheers,
Uli
