System name:		oliver
Type and version:	MVAX-II 7.3P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		QVSS

What were you trying to do?

	Nothing fancy.

What's wrong:

oliver# pwd
/site/tmp
oliver# find . -name .X11-unix -print
./.X11-unix
./.X11-unix/.X11-unix
./.X11-unix/.X11-unix/.X11-unix
./.X11-unix/.X11-unix/.X11-unix/.X11-unix
./.X11-unix/.X11-unix/.X11-unix/.X11-unix/.X11-unix

And 66 more lines of the same pattern, which I have omitted to save your eyes.
Each of these is a real directory, and each contains a UNIX-domain socket named "X0." 

du reports a total of 37 K under /site/tmp/.X11-unix.

What should have happened:

	This should not happen.  The only thing I know of that might
cause this is the reactivate script.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	reactivate (8)
