Courtney Bane (cbane) wrote : "xauth generate" with large timeout crashes X server

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.
