I think I've worked around the AIX xdm problem.  Just run it like this
(from /etc/rc or whatever):

/usr/afs/etc/pagsh -c "/usr/bin/X11/xdm -config /usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config"

I was able to login more than 16 times.  Putting a setpag() call in main
seems to be the ultimate solution, but you won't be able to make it work
with AIX 3.1 without tracking down the cause for the hang in
ka_UserAuthenticateGeneral.  My guess is that somewhere a file
descriptor is getting closed.
