I just intalled in my jiktest account a .Xresources file containing
the following:

XScreensaver*encryptedKey:	abPFSdZY3k876

That encrypted string corresponds to the password "foobarbaz".

I then logged in as jiktest on each of the following types of
machines:

	VAXstation 3100 (1 monochrome, 1 color)
	Personal DECstation 5000/25
	VAXstation II/RC
	DECstation 3100
	IBM POWERstation 320H
	SPARCstation IPX

On each of these machines, I ran "add sipb; xscreensaver", locked the
screen from the menu, and attempted to unlock it using the password
"foobarbaz".  On all machines, I had no trouble unlocking.

Therefore, in summary, I have no idea why you are experiencing what
you are experiencing.  I can't duplicate it.  If you can figure out
how to duplicate it, let me know, and I'll try to track it down.
