WaitForSomething(): select: Invalid argument

My X server is frequently crashing with the error "WaitForSomething():
select: Invalid argument". There has been a previous report on this
issue in which the suggested action was to upgrade the synaptics driver
(http://lists.x.org/pipermail/xorg/2013-May/055680.html). I am already
running a significantly newer driver than the user in that report was,
as I'm using 1.7.4.

The crash happens frequently, and mostly random. However I am able to
reproduce it on demand by launching the HipChat client. As soon as the
app finishes loading and goes to display the main window, X crashes with
the mentioned error.

I have attached the Xorg.0.log from a crashed session. I have also
attached a packet capture of HipChat talking to the X server so you can
see what it's doing to cause the crash.

I am using:
xorg-server 1.15.0
xf86-input-evdev 2.8.2
xf86-input-synaptics 1.7.4
xf86-video-intel 2.21.15
kernel 3.14.14
