I haven't tried X on my sun3s yet, but I have actually seen exactly
this behavior on a sparc running NetBSD.  Wierd.  (It's never locked
the machine completely, though.  Xdm always restarts the server for
me.  I also usually pull the keyboard cable from the type 4 keyboard
and plug it back in to cause a keyboard reset, to kill the beep before
I wake up a housemate.)
