I seem to be having a problem with my x server thinking that it can use
IPv6. Here's the dope:

$ export DISPLAY=localhost:0
$ xclock
_X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for tcp
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for tcp
_X11TransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/localhost:0
Error: Can't open display: localhost:0
$

In an strace, everything looks goo up until:
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = -1 EAFNOSUPPORT (Address family not
supported by protocol)

The same command on another box without this error, results in
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3

Anyone have any idea how to tell X to ditch the IPv6 support?
