xmodmap -e 'clear lock' does weird things

[Alan Coopersmith]

That should only clear the lock modifier - and does so for me on Xorg 1.6.3 on
OpenSolaris, but on Xorg master I see the same behaviour you do, with the other
modifiers remapped down to the first three.   Looks like a bug introduced since
the Xorg 1.6 branch - probably in core server, since I'm using kbd driver and
assume you're using evdev.
