Now, if you uncomment this line of the code:

//#define USE_CAIRO_DEVICE

Then compile and run it again, you shouldn't get the error anymore. It
enables the cairo device destruction and proper invalidation of the
cairo xcb connection cache at the end, as per what I explained in
previous messages.

The bottom line is, if you're getting these errors in this toy
example, this bug might bite you on Emacs with Cairo XCB at some
point. When, who knows, we're on undefined behavior land here.
