Then I'm confused why the EBADF... If the file descriptor was closed
before drmDropMaster, then I would have expected that to implicitly drop
master as well. Dave, any ideas? 
Thue, if you'd like to play with adding some debugging output in the
kernel, e.g. starting from why drm_setmaster_ioctl() fails, that might
be interesting.
