Log message:
Workaround CVE-2012-0064, password-locked X screen savers can be bypassed
with Ctrl Alt *.

This is not the complete fix but mitigates the issue for now.

Bug was introduced to OpenBSD in the xserver update on 2011/11/05
(commit 7d2543a3cb3 upstream), so it affects -current since that date,
but no OpenBSD releases.

ok matthieu@ phessler@ dcoppa@, also tested by schwarze@, jj@

If you want this fix before new snapshots are available, copy the new
file to /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/compat/xfree86 and reload the kbmap e.g.
setxkbmap $(setxkbmap -query | awk '/layout/ { print $2 }')
