Bug 263841: x11/xscreensaver: v6.02 - unable to poll version of running process
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263841



--- Description ---
In xscreensaver v6.02, it is not possible on my system to obtain the version of
the running process with `xscreensaver-command -version`.  It also affected
`-time`.  It may be due to having a multi-screen setup with xscreensaver being
started from the first screen.

The fix appears to be in v6.03 where the `version` is reset only once before
polling all the screens.  Since it appears it may take more work before that
version can be committed to ports, I have backported the fix.
