Description Alex Ruddick 2008-02-29 04:55:57 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
Bringing upstream from original launchpad report by Mark Featherston
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/196844
I confirmed - we were both on amd64 platforms.

Simply input a ridiculously long amount of text in the Leave a Message dialog when the screen is locked.  Using Copy-Paste is the fastest way.
