Hmm, the code is failing on this line in exa_migration_mixed.c in the
server:

            pExaPixmap->sys_ptr = malloc(pExaPixmap->sys_pitch *
                                         pPixmap->drawable.height);

However the backtrace doesn't indicate what the values are for sys_pitch
or drawable.height, so it's unclear why malloc would fail here.

Can you tell me more about your setup?  What makes it unusual compared
with a stock Ubuntu instance?  Any ideas why memory allocation might be
failing?

Also, you mentioned that you saw this "relatively recently" - is your
implication that this used to work in oneiric and regressed recently?
If so, can you give an estimate as to roughly what day (or range of
days) the regression began for you?

You mention gnome-shell... are you able to reproduce this bug *only* in
gnome-shell, or do you see it under other window managers like unity or
unity-2d?
