XFree86 lockup with screensaver

["Abraham Backus" <abraham at backus dot com>]

Hello,

I've encountered this once today and a coworker of mine is encountering it
frequenty.  When the windows system goes into screensaver mode and he comes
back, X is locked up and he can't do anything.  He has to forcibly kill the
X processes and restart.  It happens every time for him and I had him do
various things like minimizing and restoring the XFree86 window, as well as
checking with XFree86 in the foreground, background, or minimized.  Also, he
says it happens regardless of which screensaver is selected.

When it happened to me, I noticed that XWin.exe was taking up a considerable
amount of CPU (it was at 100%) from windows task manager.  I haven't been
able to reproduce it since then.

I've searched the mailing list archives and wasn't able to find anything
related to this.  Maybe someone else has encountered this or knows what's
up?

thanks!
