MIT's UNIX domain sockets assume that you are not sharing /tmp among machines.
HP's product version used to (and may still) append the host name to the socket
name so that it would be unique on such shared filesystems. 

Look in /tmp for directories named something like .X11-unix* on your product
software and fix your MIT Xlib to match.
