Hm.... I have also seen it somewhat consistently on DECstations for
some odd reason.  mhbraun has also seen it on a VAX...  It could be
some generic bug in Xt.  xscreensaver is linked against the R5
libraries, isn't it?

Anyway, I suspect xscreensaver might be getting into some state where
it sets a timeout for hideCursor without clearing a previous one.
