I am not sure if that patch is still needed at all. The latest weston had the failing assertion removed (exactly because of the same issue why this patch was created), and it supposed to work without crashing...

(This is the theory, at least. It remains to be tried in practice)

it seems to work with this patch, I am not sure without the patch, but I agree it will be good to drop it if possible. I know it failed randomly so not sure if it can be validated. I know you had a testcase to reproduce the original problem.

It failed randomly? I haven't heard of it - do you have a link or something? (Edit: or you just mean the original problem, not failure with the patch?)

I can try to test it, but only later this week - it's firefox update season, and that will occupy my machine for a while.

That was my problem, where weston will launch and stay up for a while, as soon as I did something with it e.g. launch a browser app, it would crash. This was surmounting to same problem that you were running into and this patch helped to fix that.

Ah, that - sure. That wasn't random, at least on my machine, that confused me. Will report back in a few days when I get around building an rpi image.
