Pretty sure; note that below I state that the crashes happen even
with xlockmore in its "blank" mode, ie doing nothing other than
showing a blank screen. Using the OpenGL, or for that matter any
other graphical screen saver, just seems to mean that the crash
occurs sooner.

Possible, but not likely. I was happily running the Sun X server
on this machine for days at a time with no problems - the only
reason I switched over to XFree86 was for things like decent
three button support and scroll wheel support with the mouse I've
got. That and being able to make use of more of the keys I've got
on the keyboard I use.

Thanks the suggestion, I'll have a look at that tomorrow.
