06:23 xss: X Error! PLEASE REPORT THIS BUG.

06:23 X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
06:23 Major opcode of failed request: 107 (X_SetScreenSaver)
06:23 Value in failed request: 0xffff8ca0
06:23 Serial number of failed request: 46
06:23 Current serial number in output stream: 47

06:23 If at all possible, please re-run xscreensaver with the command^N
06:23 line arguments `-sync -verbose -no-capture', and reproduce this
06:23 bug. That will cause xscreensaver to dump a `core' file to the
06:23 current directory. Please include the stack trace from that core
06:23 file in your bug report. *DO NOT* mail the core file itself!
06:23 That won't work.
06:23
06:23 http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/bugs.html explains how to create
06:23 the most useful bug reports, and how to examine core files.
06:23
06:23 The more information you can provide, the better. But please
06:23 report this bug, regardless!

I did so; the result is at /mit/aui/crashes/core.xss.beland.
A little while later, gnome-terminal crashed just as I was typing
"ls". The result is at /mit/aui/crashes/core.gnome-terminal-beland.
These were both on whack-a-mole, which is an O2.
This may be related - I remotely rebooted the machine yesterday, but
it didn't come back up. I came it to find it kernel paniced. When I
hit Enter to reboot, the screen partially garbled, and froze. I had
to power cycle it. These crashes happened a few minutes later; I
wonder if I'm having hardware problems of some sort.
Hrm,
Beland
