Bug#569104: libxext: Race condition in XShmAttach in Lenny.
Package: libxext
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
There's a race condition in libXext that causes apps that use the X shared
memory extensions to occasionally crash. [1][2] This has been fixed upstream
with a small patch. [3] Can we cherrypick this for Lenny?
