Hi,

I noticed that xlock will generate a floating point exception
error and die occasionally.  I know that if you have the flame
mode (either by -mode random, or -mode flame) up, you can just
hit <RETURN> enough times (usually 10 or so) and it will die
with a floating point exception error (not real good for
security.)  I think that it will do this on other modes, but
I haven't verified it.  I have only noticed it doing this when it
generates a new pattern, not just running the old pattern
over and over again.

Is there any way to do a -mode random and add a flag to skip
certain modes like flame? (not just for this reason)

I got xlockmore-2.11b.tgz from the packages-2.1 directory.
I am using FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE with DES/Kerberos installed.
