Bug Description

Running xubuntu 11.10 with xscreensaver & rss-glx screensaver (Euphoria). My system is lagging late in the day. When I open the task manager I see Multiple instances of my chosen screensaver, Euphoria, burning-up resources.
Apparently Euphoria is not exiting when the system is no longer idle, so multiple instances are running by late in the work day.

Running a log from xscreensaver, you can see a bit of what is happening, it is attached.

I'm guessing the problem lies with multiple occurrences of:
child pid xxxx (euphoria) exited abnormally (code 1).

Obviously Euphoria should be exiting cleanly, but is that the whole problem?

Addl. Info:
rss-glx: Installed: 0.9.1-5ubuntu1
xscreensaver: Installed: 5.14-1ubuntu1
