Yes, it looks like the solution is to fix xcb_generate_id.

The relevant patch hasn't been committed upstream yet, see

for discussion and the patch.

Probably the most useful thing would be for those seeing the crash to test out that patch and see if it prevents the crash (and doesn't cause any new ones!).

The RH bug indeed looks like it might be related (I really hope there aren't *two* ways of getting BadIDChoice errors!), and if the commenters there are seeing the crash so often, then their testing feedback would probably be very useful.
