> do you do anything else that stresses the gfx card?

Sure. Other GL screensavers are just as intensive, but they don't lock my
machine. Further:

1. Machine locks when running polytopes.
2. I use alt-sysreq-s-u-b to reboot.
3. The display stays blank during the reboot. Never comes back.
4. I force a power-off. System comes up normally.

This is repeatable. Sounds like the screensaver is causing the driver to push
the graphics card into an unstable state. A reboot isn't enough to clear it --
it requires a full poweroff.

I periodically come back to my machine to find the polytopes screensaver image
frozen on the display and my machine completely locked. (I have to alt-sysreq-b
to reboot; ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work.)
