Thanks for reporting this. The most likely theory is that the
hexagon-soccer-ball screen hack triggers a bug in the Solaris X server
or graphics driver, causing the machine to wedge. We can take it out of
the list of screensavers to run, and also possibly send a bug report to
Sun (since the screen hack presumably makes for a nice test case).
When you report a bug involving a hung machine, it's nice to say whether
the machine still pings from another machine, and also whether it
responds to stop-A. Doesn't really affect the diagnosis much in this
case, though.
