Public bug reported:
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.
