Hi David,

seems you upgraded libc to 2.13-3 as Sven just pointed out ( 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626450). :-) At least 
you got the output from the update - my screensaver had turned on but 
couldn't be turned off anymore so I didn't see anything except the 
little bit I reported.

Cheers, Simon
