Hello, I noticed a number of log messages like the following on the boxes I use: [ 8368.413929] winduprobot[8149]: segfault at c01465130 ip 000000000041136a sp 00007fffa56dbf08 error 4 in winduprobot[400000+9c000] After finding out that winduprobot is a newly added hack shipped in package xscreensaver-gl, I tried to reproduce the issue by simply running it in a dedicated window: $ /usr/lib/xscreensaver/winduprobot Segmentation fault After a while, the hack segfaulted, as I expected. I am under the impression that the bug is easily reproducible. Please investigate and fix the bug and/or forward my report upstream. Thanks for your time! Bye.
What is the resolution and colour depth you are using? Which graphics card? Can you please try to get more information, for example running: gdb /usr/lib/xscreensaver/winduprobot (gdb) run (gdb) where Regards, Tormod

I am experiencing the bug on a number of different boxes, at different resolutions (for instance: 1600x900). Color depth is always 24 bit. Graphics cards are different models, but all of them are Intel integrated chips (for instance: Intel Corporation 82G965 Integrated Graphics Controller).
