I don't know that it didn't happen before 5.2.  I bought a used Dell
Latitude D530 to load 5.2 onto, and most things work except when I
installed xscreensaver I find that about 1/3 of the individual
screensaver programs crash.  The main program just says "no preview
available" but when I quit that there were dozens of .core files left
behind in the current directory.

Obviously having xscreensaver isn't a life or death issue but it's
kind of fun once in a while.  They terminate with a signal 11 (I
forget where I found that out, it's in my notes from yesterday).
There's also a longish error message on a graphics screen that points
to /usrX11R6/lib/modules/dri/i965_dri.so no matter which one crashes.

Not much to go on probably, but anyone else seeing this?
