[Bug 1376324] Re: /usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor:*** Error in `unity-system-compositor': free(): invalid pointer: ADDR ***

 

This looks as though the send_response_result member of
ProtobufResponder is no longer valid (i.e. that the ProtobufResponder at
this=0xac900574 has likely been freed).

I'm not sure what sequence of events would lead to a send_response()
message being passed to a no-longer valid ProtobufResponder - but is
likely to be a race within Mir between closing the connection and the
compositor::BufferQueue::give_buffer_to_client() sending a buffer to the
client.

I'll audit the Mir code in this area.
