On 4.7R xscreensaver 4.06 and 4.05 have the problem that the xscreensaver-demo
program fails thusly:

  <~>$ xscreensaver-demo

  X error in xscreensaver-demo: 11:04:58:
  X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
    Major opcode of failed request:  147 (MIT-SHM)
    Minor opcode of failed request:  1 (X_ShmAttach)
    Serial number of failed request:  65
    Current serial number in output stream:  66

I just upgraded from 4.5 to 4.7.  I am using the *same* XFree86 installation I
was using *before* the upgrade, built from the port:

  <~>$ pkg_info | grep -i xfree
  XFree86-4.2.0_1,1   X11R6.5/XFree86 core distribution (complete)
  XFree86-FontServer-4.2.0_1 XFree86-4 Font Server

Here is the verbose information from xscreensaver:

  <~>$ xscreensaver -verbose
  xscreensaver 4.06, copyright (c) 1991-2002 by Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org>.
  xscreensaver: initial effective uid/gid was root/witr (0/1001).
  xscreensaver: changed uid/gid to witr/witr (1001/1001).
  xscreensaver: in process 425.
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: 0: xscreensaver-gl-helper: GL visual is 0x23 (default).
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: running on display ":0.0" (1 screen).
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: vendor is The XFree86 Project, Inc, 40200000.
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: useful extensions:
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38:   MIT Screen-Saver
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38:   Shared Memory
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38:   Double-Buffering
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38:   Power Management
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38:   GLX

  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: screen 0 non-colormapped depths: 24.
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: not using server's lame MIT-SCREEN-SAVER extension.
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: 0: visual 0x23 (TrueColor,   depth: 24, cmap: default)
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: 0: saver window is 0x800001.
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: selecting events on extant windows... done.
  xscreensaver: 11:03:38: awaiting idleness.

Since the combination of xscreensaver-4.05 and the above XFree86 worked
*before* the upgrade, but don't work *after* the upgrade, it seems reasonable
to be suspicious of 4.7 or the upgrade, doesn't it?

A quick google scan shows other people have had similar problems.

Any suggestions?
