Title:
  xinit flooding syslog

Status in pyopenssl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am using xinit (1.3.4-3ubuntu1) to start an X11 session as follows
  (kodi is a media center):

  /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/kodi-
  standalone -- :1 -nolisten tcp vt8

  This used to work fine with Ubuntu 16.04, but since the upgrade to
  16.10 lots of log messages are sent to syslog. They are all
  repetitions of the following two lines:

  Oct 24 22:54:50 tiger xinit[26430]: extern "Python": function Cryptography_rand_bytes() called, but @ffi.def_extern() was not called in the current subinterpreter.  Returning 0.
  Oct 24 22:54:50 tiger xinit[26430]: extern "Python": function Cryptography_rand_status() called, but @ffi.def_extern() was not called in the current subinterpreter.  Returning 0.

  These messages amount to >200 GB per day, so this is eating up all the
  disk space.
