Core dump sample of xwayland crashing

Description of problem:
xwayland started crashing, even when idle. Gnome shell crashed and returned
to gdm.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F34 fully upgraded

How reproducible:
Start the computer and wait. After a few hours xwayland will crash.
Tried both kernels 5.16.15 and 5.16.11

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter gnome shell
2.  wait
3.  something crashes xwayland, so gnome shell crashes and returns to gdm

Actual results:
wayland unusuable


Expected results:
Used to work fine

Additional info:
 narrowed it down to latest upgrade of F34 x86 of 20.3.

Downgraded to:

 libwayland-client       x86_64       1.19.0-1.fc34   
 libwayland-cursor       x86_64       1.19.0-1.fc34                 
 libwayland-egl          x86_64       1.19.0-1.fc34        
 libwayland-server       x86_64       1.19.0-1.fc34          
 wayland-devel           x86_64       1.19.0-1.fc34   
 
from versions 1.20.0-1 solved the problem: two days without xwayland crashing.

Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 3900x, 64GB Ram, Video AMD rx580 8GB.
