Oh hey, I kept meaning to report this. I ran into this bug a week or so
ago. The screensaver name is penrose, and it routinely crashes all 9.1
suns using the m64 graphics card (the built in one, not the one used in
clusters). I tested this on several machines.
I have a core file of a wedged Xsun if anyone wants to look at it.
I tried applying the only Xsun 3.6.1 patch I found on sunsolve, and it
didn't help.
