	I am currently running your xscreensaver utility on an SGI in
	the student center, and it is exhibiting a rather strange
	bug. When I lock the screen and then attempt to regain access to
	my machine, it does not accept my password.

	I tried typing in the root password, which works with the
	standard SGI screensaver, and that did not work either. What did
	work was typing in my old password! I changed my password a week
	ago, and the previous password is the only one which will unlock
	the xscreensaver.
