Consistently, or occasionally? Directly on startup, or after running for a while? What X server are you using, at what bit depth? Does it happen if you run it from the command line; if so, do you need any special options?
It after runninmg a while.

You can check RedHat 7.0 computers, I bet you found a number of core files from screensaver process on them . Also I just upgraded the screensaver to rpm -q xscreensaver xscreensaver-3.29-1 Let us see wheter the core files appear after a while with new version. Also because the screensaver dump core so often I would recommend to put into rpm a binaries without symbols stripping. This will cost just few extra bytes, by would simplify the debugging a lot.
