Vladimir - sure; that's the first thing I tried when hunting for the
(surprisingly similar bug) #369263# - to do it you have to drop the suid bit on
/usr/bin/Xorg.
However - ~all the results are false positives (from ioctls) there; and
(somehow) the X server seems to re-fork itself in a strange way that valgrind
doesn't appear to understand - and the tracing stops after a short while [ it
seemed to me at least ].
So - while I share your suspicion of some intermittent memory corruption, or
uninitialized memory underlying this - sadly, it's not easy to find it with
valgrind [unless I did something stupid of course ;-]
