Comment 42 for bug 343528

This bug was fixed in the package xserver-xorg-input-evdev - 1:2.2.5-1ubuntu2

---------------
xserver-xorg-input-evdev (1:2.2.5-1ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * Apply upstream patch from fd.org bug 23048 (LP: #343528)
    Finalize the middle button emulation when a read error occurs (#23048)

    If a read error occurs, remove the block and wakeup handlers for middle
    mouse button emulation. Otherwise, they'll still be around after the device
    has been reopened and overwritten with the new ones created by EvdevOn.
    Once this happened, future removal of the device can lead to a server
    crash.
