This is just a warning about a bug I discovered yesterday. Affected versions are all xf86-input-wacom versions when running against X server 1.7 or later.
Cause: if a button is configured to send key events, wcmEmitKeysyms() calls XkbGetCoreMap() to look up the keycode for the keysym configured. This call allocs and since we're in the signal handler an allocation may hang the system. Solution: We need to buffer the keysym map outside the event handling code and update it whenever it updates (that's the tricky bit, mind you). Workaround: Don't use keystrokes for buttons if you experience that problem. Normal button function will work, it's just the key mapping that triggers this problem.
