ProcDRI2Dispatch uses LocalClient to determine if it's safe to respond to a client that has made DRI2 requests which aren't sensible for remote clients (anything but version). When the client has disappeared mid-request stream (e.g. as a result of a kill -9, or a client-side bug), LocalClient causes the X server to follow suit, as ((OsCommPtr)client->osPrivate)->trans_conn is NULL at this point. The simple and obvious fix is to just return "not local" when trans_conn is NULL, which fixes the crash I was seeing; however Keith Packard pointed out that just checking trans_conn isn't enough; quoting Keith: "This looks almost right to me -- I reviewed the os code to see when _XSERVTransClose is called (which is what frees the trans_conn data) and found that every place which called that immediately set trans_conn to NULL, except for the call in CloseDownFileDescriptor which is only called from CloseDownConnection and which is immediately followed by freeing the OsCommRec and setting client->osPrivate to NULL. So, I'd suggest checking client->osPrivate in addition to the above check."

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
