I've been having trouble getting xlock to compile and work on my
system and was wondering if anyone could offer any help.  The system
is a Sun 3/260 running SunOS 4.0.3, X.V11R4 compiled with gcc v1.35.
Xlock blanks the screen and then fails with the following error:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  26 (X_GrabPointer)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0xffff
  Serial number of failed request:  32
  Current serial number in output stream:  32

Can anyone tell me what is going?

ps.  Thanks for this distribution!  It's fast, compiled cleanly and
the feel is very nice.
