If you're right and it relates to the accented character, the new
stricter ctype(3) functions in 11.0 could cause screensaver-related
programs to exit when trying to process such a character with a ctype
function in an incorrect way (which is unfortunately very common).

If your problem indeed reoccurs on wednesday, you could try restarting
the screensaver with LIBC_ALLOWCTYPEABUSE=nonempty in its environment
(see ctype(3)) and see if it makes a difference. If yes, you found the
cause.
