xfs: problems talking with XTerminal xserver

Hi all, I'm running Debian GNU/Linux unstable/testing (i386). I have an old Sun XTerminal on which I (infrequently) run the "SLXT" (SPARC-Linux Xterminal) software. This involves tftp-booting a linux kernel and the Xsun xserver. All this _used_ to work a couple of months ago. Now the problem:
