We have built X11R4 on a VAX-11/780 (you remember those, don't you?) running
BSD4.3.  At least some of the clients are failing to talk to remote servers.
For example, "xterm -d sunrise:0" xpires with

	xterm: Error 15, errno 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device

while "xeyes -d sunrise:0" roll up with

	XIO:  fatal IO error 49 (Can't assign requested address) \
		on X server "sunrise:0.0"
	after 29 requests (17 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

sunrise is a Sun-4/150 running xnews 1.0.1.  The same messages result when we
try running the clients to a DS 3100 running DecWindows.

Things worked fine under R3.  Something seems to have broken in R4.  We have
applied fixes 1-9 (except the Apollo- and IBM-specific ones).  Also, the R4
clients run fine directly on and between the workstations.

Before somebody here dives into the debugger with this, does anybody out there
know anything about this problem?  At the least, does anybody have R4 clients
(xterm, in particular) running on BSD4.3 and displaying on other machines?
