Anybody is using the "xscreensaver" from ftp.x.org ?
I had been using that happily on Ultrix. I loaded on my Alpha 255/233 (DU 3.2
with Open3D factory installed) the version xscreensaver-1.21 from the
R5contrib directory and installed it according to instructions.
Occasionally my Alpha halts while running the screensaver (it did not happen
for a long time, but just happened while I was away for an hour). In such
cases I get no crash, no error messages. Simply the machine halts, all
X-window stuff goes away, and I'm presented the blue screen (as during boot
before xdm starts), there is a "machine halted" message, and the >>> prompt.
