This bug seems to be more serious as I thought.

On my llvmlinux-patched Linux v4.2 my Xorg crashes reproducibly when
marking a text in Firefox with my Logitech mouse.
My LightDM login-manager restarts and I have to re-login.

With a GCC v4.9 compiled Linux v4.2 this does not happen - the
bug-line does not occur.

My mouse (USB 2.0) is attached to a USB 3.0 plug on my notebook.
If this matters...
