I setup serial console, so I've a better vision of what's happening.
When I start xlockmore (either via xlock, or
exec xlock -mode blank +enablesaver -resetsaver), I get on console:
panic: machine check
Stopped in pid 235 (XFree86) at cpu_Debugger+0x4:       ret     zero,(ra)
db> tr
cpu_Debugger() at cpu_Debugger+0x4

This seems to happen after a X server crash: last lines of XFree86.0.log
contains:
(WW) Mouse0: bad wsmouse event type=1047555933
(WW) Mouse0: bad wsmouse event type=1047555933
(WW) Mouse0: bad wsmouse event type=1047555933
(WW) Mouse0: bad wsmouse event type=1047555933

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

The date of the file match, so it's probably not a log from a previous
run.

I worked around this by a few changes to XF86Config, I don't
know which ones are relevant: I commented out Speedo and Type1 fonts,
commented out the "omit xfree86-dga" for extmod, and added the GL module.
