[Problem]
X crash in EvdevMBEmuBlockHandler() seen in Jaunty and Karmic (with -evdev 2.2.2). Occurs rarely, with no obvious/known steps to reproduce.

[Original Report]

I wasn't doing anything new the time this program crashed. The screen went blank for a few seconds with some vertical colored strands crossing here and there Then, a command-line display came up with a few error messages. The system then went to the login window. From there everything worked fine. I have a feeling that this happened because I'm putting too much pressure on my machine. At the time I was having wuala, transmission, firefox, xchat working. And by the way, this is not the first time this crash happened but I didn't get the crash report in previous crashed because I've rebooted the system right after it happened.
