A user reported this problem which I manage to reproduce:

Uesr ran xcreensaver -B -l on milanese. The screen locks for a few
seconds and then dies. I tried it on milanese and got the same result.
However, when I tried it when telnetting to a consultant DEC5000, it
lock ok for at least 5 min.

I'm not sure if this is a bug but yoav left this comment in the user
log:

Isn't this SIPB software?  Refer to bug report?  Should be
much easier to tell what is going on after 30 seconds of run
with the sources in front of you, I would suspect a console
read is timing out fatally when done over the network, but
pnly sipb knows for sure :).

Any cluie ? Please get back to me if you can.
