I have recently begun experiencing a problem where my rgb.dir file 
(in /usr/lib/X11) will sometimes get loaded with the message: 
       
"Binding MSB TCP socket: address already in use"


When this happens, any attempt to start up X will result in some
"unable to allocate colormap entry" messages, and I get white text
on a white background.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?  What the heck is this file used
for?  I am running X11R3 on a Sun SparcStation.

Thanks in advance

-Greg
