Comment 4 for bug 553647

Are you sure this is the input driver rather than the x-server? I've been happily using this machine in other ways for a week without trouble - and I'm sure that the mouse-click itself isn't the issue. What I think is happening is that clicking the mouse under those particular circumstances makes xfig ask a specific request of the x-server, which causes the server to crash.

I think that the strace file contains something useful, though I don't know how to interpret it, the last fragment looks relevant:
