Hi. In xscreensaver.c:main_loop, lock_command_pid is declared
uninitialized, and seems to get an initial value of 1. On unlocking,
this results in kill being called with pid -1, killing all the user's
processes, and logging them out. This patch prevents this behaviour.
I'm not sure what the relationship between
/mit/source/third/xscreensaver and xss is; they don't seem identical,
but I hope this helps.
