I tried:

  gdb /usr/lib/xscreensaver/polytopes 2>&1 | tee gdb-polytopes.txt

and typed 'run' in gdb.  It successfully brought up the Polytopes
screensaver in a window.  Pressing escape closed the window.  However, I
repeated this process about 7000 times (via a script!) and it never
locked up.  Somehow, it seems that it needs to be in full-screen mode as
a real screensaver to reproduce the problem.  Unfortunately, it seems
that when run in this mode, a backtrace is not possible.  Is there
another method to try?
