From xscreensaver-5.06/driver/xscreensaver.c (Line 1298)

Code:
  spasswd = getpwuid(getuid());
  if (!spasswd)
    {
      fprintf(stderr, "Could not figure out who the current user is!\n");
      return 1;
    }
so either getuid(2) or getpwuid(2) is failing ... I suspect there is something wrong in you passwd file? What does this say:
% id -P
