Bug#446820: xorg: X freezes on screensaver or strace



Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss


Recently I restarted my X server and took into account the last
upgrade. Now it appears that when I go away and come back to unlock the
screensaver, nothing responds. /usr/bin/X takes 99% of the CPU. I wanted
to investigate, but attaching the process with strace -p XXXX freezes
X in the same way (nothing at all is output by the strace). Then it
needs to be killed with a SIGKILL.

I reproduced the problem on a vanilla 2.6.23 kernel. Of course, this is
annoying because all my session and open work are lost...
