I have been examining the bug that you reported and undertand the problem. In
X11R3, xmodmap changed usage but provided a backwards compatibility. We compiled
our programs without writable strings and there appears to be an error in the
program. (only in the backwards compatible stuff).
I suggest you use the following:
xmodmap -e "clear lock" +c Caps_Lock
or
xmodmap -e "clear lock" -e "add control = Caps_Lock"
which should both work, the later being the accepted one according to the man
page.
