Bug#261544: xserver-xfree86: sigalarm/sigreturn deadlock

[for debian bts (antispam measure) <btsguy@fs.daxal.com>]

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.1.0-16woody3
Severity: normal

strace shows this activity:

--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [])
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [])
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [])
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [])
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [])

I can hold our for a day or two, and run commands via gdb
to gather more information if you like.  Let me know, so
I can be up and running if the report becomes superficial.

Thanks,


Scott.

btw, my hotmail address is cvgscote. I refuse to post an actual email address
like supaplex@pcbkits.com in the plain on bts, because I receive too much spam
(that's a spam trap now anyway...)  Please see that you do not repost my actual
email address, or allow it to be posted in anyway. (this will prevent evil
robots from scraping up my email ... )
