The Linux kernel also has a counter that could wrap around and produce
potential errors. The devs help themselves by setting the initial value of that
counter very high, so a wrap occurs soon after boot:
/*
* Have the 32 bit jiffies value wrap 5 minutes after boot
* so jiffies wrap bugs show up earlier.
*/
#define INITIAL_JIFFIES ((unsigned long)(unsigned int) (-300*HZ))
Could the same be done for the X-Server, if just for debugging and testing?
