Could you please send me some info from right after you boot
but before starting X:

   * output of  ps -auxww | grep  xfs
   * output of netstat -Aa (look for port 7100)
   * contents of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/fs-errors

(The problem might well be obvious from these.)

Great. This part is fixed, and should show up in tomorrow's sup, or
possibly Saturday's.

I've sent maximum entropy a patch that should fix this, too.
Anyone else who's interested can have a copy.
