[Bug 458306] Re: X server locks up when Acrobat Reader is started

 

No longer seems to be happening with acroread 9.1.0-7jaunty2, and the
same X server version. I am retaining a copy of the older acroread
package so that I can reproduce this. I think a reproducible client-
induced lockup in the Karmic-released X server is a serious bug which
should be investigated, even if not triggered by current packages. I
assume that Bryce Harrington was able to reproduce this too, so it's not
just my hardware.

I'm not familiar with the X protocol or how one would go about getting a
trace of what the application is doing to cause this. But I'm happy to
put some time in to help isolate a simple test case, if someone with
more knowledge of these things could give me some pointers on how to get
started.
