Bug Description

After upgrading to the Ubuntu 12.10 beta, compiz crashes whenever I start resizing a window.

The console output of compiz provides this error message:

compiz: /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:424: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = CompRect]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

My system uses the nvidia driver if that is of importance..

I noticed that I can prevent compiz from crashing by clicking on a border in order to resize the window and release the resize handle without moving the mouse. All following resize operations now succeed.

A freshly started unity/compiz window manager crashes again when resizing any window.
