Bug Description
I am using xinit (1.3.4-3ubuntu1) to start an X11 session as follows (kodi is a media center):
/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/
This used to work fine with Ubuntu 16.04, but since the upgrade to 16.10 lots of log messages are sent to syslog. They are all repetitions of the following two lines:
Oct 24 22:54:50 tiger xinit[26430]: extern "Python": function Cryptography_
Oct 24 22:54:50 tiger xinit[26430]: extern "Python": function Cryptography_
These messages amount to >200 GB per day, so this is eating up all the disk space.

I have this same problem, but my errors are going to my .xsession-errors file, as I'm starting kodi after logging in instead. Maybe the bug is in kodi? I'm using kodi 17 beta 4, with Ubuntu 16.04 and kodi 16.1 I did not have any problems.
