xscreensaver-gnome-4.24_6

Bug info:  most GL screen savers terminate on signal 11.  Some 'hang', 
others will display 'torn' images in the preview window.  non-GL screen 
savers seem to function correctly.  re-compiling xscreensaver-gnome 
libgle and libglut does not appear to have any effect.  2 machines 
affected equally, one with SiS video hardware using the sis driver, the 
other with VIA video hardware and using the VESA driver.  One machine is 
running a recent kernel (see below); the other is running a kernel that 
is about 2 months older.  This problem did not appear until after 
upgrading gnome and xorg.
