Thanks for your report. Can you reproduce it by running:
 /usr/lib/xscreensaver/fuzzyflakes
in a Terminal window?

[Jānis Kangarooo (kangarooo)]

Yes /usr/lib/xscreensaver/fuzzyflakes is making a small window with screensaver fuzzyflakes and no crash comes up.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

But you can't make it crash in that case? Can you please try running "/usr/lib/xscreensaver/fuzzyflakes -root" in a failsafe Terminal session?
