[issue818] Modular Xorg 1.3 "WaitForSomething(): select: errno=673149184" bug

[Joe "Floid" Kanowitz]

New submission from Joe "Floid" Kanowitz <jkanowitz at snet.net>:

Relating to discussion occurring on IRC; I'm only flagging this 'urgent' because
it's cropped up repeatedly, with no definitive explanation or solution, and now
modular Xorg is the only game in town...

Symptoms:  Xorg 'works' but stops at a white screen until ctrl-alt-BS'd, with
the inevitable repeated: 

WaitForSomething(): select: errno=673149184

errors.

The 'kdump' is a snippet of one cycle, from a server pointed at /dev/sysmouse;
next up will be one showing the same mysterious/invalid errno being fabricated
when xf86openserial() [from memory] fails to open psm0.
