I don't understand what bug you are reporting.

If you are reporting that some of Calvin's processes were left running
after xscreensaver logged him out, then you are reporting to the wrong
people, because xscreensaver is not at fault.  If xscreensaver runs
the logout command (which it apparently did), and the logout command
fails to kill all of the user's processes, then the logout command is
at fault.  Note that xscreensaver does not exit after running the
logout command, so if you were able to log in, then the X server must
have been reset, in which case Calvin *was* logged out.
