What window manager are you using? Awm is known to cause xscreensaver
to do very bad things.
Another possibility is that it's just taking a very long time for the
password window to pop up. Since you continue to hit the space bar
after it doesn't pop up the first time, you add key events to the X
server event queue, and they get taken as part of your password when
the window finally does pop up.
Unfortunately, it's very difficult for me to diagnose a bug of this
type without seeing it happen. Please remind me about it in September
(if I don't mention it to you) and I'll see if I can isolate the bug
and fix it.
