Comment 5 for bug 506977

I'm not 100% certain, but this bug report looks a heck of a lot like bug #506510, and I think it shares the same root cause. The problem is that error messages were being written to the log after the log file was closed, which causes a segfault in the signal handling code.

I've corrected the specific error message print which causes 506510, and am going to assume that covers this crash as well. Because of the signal handling logic, it hides the clues I'd need to be absolutely certain that fix fixes this one as well. So please test version xorg-server 2:1.7.3.902-1ubuntu7, and if you still get a crash please reopen this bug (or file a new bug, esp. if apport captures it, and reference this bug report so we know the background).
