(Get the code!)
I searched through my bugs and I found that I reported this issue in LP even:
https:/
However, it was closed as a dupe of bug 316762:
https:/
Now, I'm not entirely sure I agree with it being marked as a duplicate because strace is a normal non-root program and it should not be able to take down the X server.
What else is interesting to mention here? I think it can be repro'd with gdmsetup dialog as well and I suppose both printer and gdmsetup does something special with hardware that makes them vulnerable to this effect because I can strace a lot other stuff on this box with no problems.

It would be very interesting to see if the strace patch proposed by red hat also makes the Xorg lockup go away. The memory corruption might after all be completely unrelated to the X lockup.
