Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this bug with any reliability, so it could be dependent on a number of other factors such as free memory space or currently running programs. The screensaver does eventually return but upon exiting (by typing in password), Xorg uses 100% CPU and it's very difficult to use programs during this period. It can stay that way for a long time but can recover. I'd therefore suggest that this bug be closed as it's unlikely a user would find him/herself in this situation (unless you have colleagues who'd find it funny which is how I came across this). I generated the text by typing in lol, copy/pasting recursively untill I was pasting many paragraphs continuously for 30 seconds by holding ctrl+v.
