** Package changed: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) => xorg-server
(Ubuntu)

** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

** Tags added: omit

** Summary changed:

- "xauth generate" with large timeout crashes X server
+ "xauth generate" with large timeout triggers assertion

** Description changed:

  Running "xauth generate" with a large timeout value (e.g., "xauth
  generate :0.0 . trusted timeout 99999999") causes the X server to crash
  with an assertion failure.  Immediately upon running the command, the X
  server crashes, and after a few seconds, the login screen appears.
  
  I have attached a full backtrace.  Xorg.0.log and dmesg don't contain
  any relevant data.
