what test do you want run?


Just try to duplicate the crash you're seeing when running synergys 
under etch.

  synergys: ../../src/xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int)((xcb_req) - 
(dpy-request)) = 0)' failed.

This *could* be the same as the core dumping crashes, but there is no
way to tell from the output.


Looks similar to me; I think I'll end up merging them.

What desktop setup do you have?  Anything unusual (compiz, weird 
GNOME/KDE setup, etc.)?

As you wish.  The assert makes it very debug-able.  IMHO, this looks 
like memory corruption.  I haven't
run with MALLOC_CHECK_ (IIRC) just to see if the libc can tell us 
something about memory.

Using Gnome.  Nothing non-standard ITO my Debian install.  The other 
computer is

a Mac.

It could be, but my working theory right now is that synergy is not 
conforming to the X11 spec; it's assuming something that used to be 
true, but strictly speaking couldn't be assumed.  Moving from the old 
X11 libs to the new XCB-based ones changed things, I think.


We had a similar problem with the client that should now be fixed.

Do you have any etch boxes you could test for this with?  It may be too 
much to ask, I know, to run etch for a few days. :-)

OK, thanks.
