X: client 1 rejected from local host

Upgraded to latest CVS version of Xorg (monolithic xc) on NetBSD/i386 
2.0.2.

Running X or startx (as long as not using /bin/sh) works to start X, but 
no window manager or clients start. The log shows several lines like:

AUDIT: Sat Nov 26 19:15:01 2005: 22394 X: client 1 rejected from local host
   Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1

If running xdm instead, then this doesn't happen. xdm runs X like:

/usr/X11R6/bin/X vt05 -auth /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-22756a

I was previously running Xorg 6.8.2 and I didn't have this problem (I 
started X with startx every time successfully). No changes in my start up 
(.xsession/.xinitrc).

Is this an error in how X should start up? Or is this a new correct 
behaviour? (And if so, where is this documented?)

Thanks,

  Jeremy C. Reed
