I'm beginning to feel like a lone wolf in my experiences with the XFree86 code.

I tested xlock-- newly compiled-- on my PWS 600au and AS255/233 running the 
in-tree code + xsrc/20560.  Both are running -current, to March 7.

I've tried xlock, xlock -mode atlantis, xlock -mode atunnels, and exec xlock 
-mode blank +enablesaver -resetsaver.

There is no machine check on either machine.  I *know* that there is no font 
issue in the in-tree code with either Speedo or Type1 fonts, because I'm 
running stably with them.  One machine (ev56) was installed by running 'make 
install' on top of a previous installation of Mel's 4.2.1 code.  The other 
(ev4) was installed to a clean directory.

What I *suspect* this issue is all about is a dirty font cache in either of 
those two directories, or an errant font that other folks have that I don't.

Because the font interface changed so drastically with 4.3.0, you have to make 
certain that fc-cache -fv, mkfontdirs and mkfontscale run to completion on all 
the font directories.  You might even try deleting all font.cache and 
font.cache-1 files before doing this.  (Or, more drastically, install to a 
clean directory -- not good if you've invested a lot of ev4 time into your 
X11R6/bin!)

Another difference would be 1.6.1_RC2 versus -current.  You might try getting 
up to -current (it's quite stable, at least today).  :)

Here's mine, running quite stably on both the PWS and AS255.  It's unchanged 
from when I sent it last:

Section "Module"

     Load        "dbe"
     SubSection  "extmod"
       Option    "omit xfree86-dga"
     EndSubSection
     Load        "type1"
     Load        "freetype"
     Load        "glx"

EndSection

Section "Files"

     RgbPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
     FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
     FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
     FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
     FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
