[Bug 1391710] [NEW] Xorg assert failure: *** Error in `/usr/bin/X': malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: 0xb83bc370 ***

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to Utopic, xorg randomly crashes with machine unattended.
After the xorg crash, I am unable to access any terminals, the only way to gracefully shut down the computer is via ssh.
No particular pattern to this, I have tried various screensavers including non-GL ones, also disabling power management to no avail.

The crashes can occur within 30 minutes of bootup, or might not happen
for over 12 hours.
