Found a workaround for this.  First, find an unused modifier by typing:

xmodmap -pm

My mod3 was free (so adjust the commands accordingly if you use a
different modifier).  Now type the following:

xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock'

After doing this, your scroll lock key will now work.  You can now make
this a permanent fix by adding the following line to /root/.Xmodmap (if
the file isn't there, then create it):

add mod3 = Scroll_Lock

By putting this in root's Xmodmap, it will enable the scroll lock key
every time X starts.
