Public bug reported: I've experienced some times now that when I load big images in Firefox, the X server hangs. This occurs with a default Firefox profile, and for example reproducible on http://sortvis.org/algorithms/bubblesort.html (needs JavaScript). In this case, Xorg goes up to 100% CPU, and I does not react to key presses (except when using the SysRq shortcuts to kill it). I have a backtrace (see gdb-Xorg-direct.txt), with Xorg started from gdb as root, and then browsing Firefox to the mentioned URL. From the backtrace, it seems to be related with libpixman; however, when I install libpixman-1-0-dbg to get a reasonable backtrace, the X hangs do not occur anymore...
