I'm experiencing this bug only when attempting to resize text in Firefox
using ctrl+mouse wheel. If I use ctrl++ or ctrl+-, I don't have a
problem, but ctrl+mouse wheel locks up the system for a period of time
and maxes out one of my CPUs. After a number of seconds or minutes, FF
catches up and the text resizes. Attempting to revert text with
ctrl+mouse wheel produces the same result (freezing up).

An excerpt from my strace is attached that pretty much sums up what I
was seeing. The "gettimeofday" was the most regular expression that
scrolled by, usually in blocks of 6-10 (was going too fast for me to
count). I'd imagine that ETIMEDOUT and -1 EAGAIN are the relevant parts,
but I'm not a coder...
