What's the story with x11r5?

Is anybody maintaining the x11r5 locker?

The RS/6000 libraries in it were compiled in January (libXaw in
December); the DECstation and RT libraries in February; and the sparc
and vax libraries in March.  I am fairly certain that new patches have
come out since then, but even if not, the RS/6000, DECstation and RT
libraries should be brought up to date.

I am encountering a bug in xscreensaver which I can only attribute
to a library bug, since it is triggered by an X resource that is
completely disconnected from the portion of code causing the crash,
and since it only occurs on the RS/6000 (which is the site with the
oldest libraries).

What's the story here?
