  OK, I've installed an undocumented "-debug" flag (and a
corresponding "debug" resource) into the program; if enabled, it will
create a file called /tmp/Xscreensaver.$DISPLAY.debug and put some
useful information in it as it runs, and it will cd into /tmp and core
dump if there's an error.

  Ken, please enable xscreensaver debugging in your X resources.  The
next time this happens, let me know and we might have something to go
on.
