Bug Description

I've found other bug reports on segfault of mate-screensaver. However, those don't mention that if the screensaver crashes, then the computer goes into auto-sleep, upon resuming from sleep the lockscreen is bypassed. No lockscreen is presented and full access is available as the last user logged on.
