   About once a week I need to reboot my NetBSD-current (i386) box
   because I get the following error:

   chase@orac>xterm
   TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 2

   The X server (XFree86-3.1.2A) seems to simply be unwilling to accept
   any new connections.  Any X client causes the same behavior, e.g.,

   chase@orac>xclock
   TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 2

This sort of thing usually occurs because some automatic reeper
deleted the Un*x-domain socket to the X server, which is stored in
/tmp/.X11-unix/.
