Unfortunately, I don't think I can fix this problem for a patch
release.  It might break software which depends on being able to
contact the X server on hostname:0.0.

(Incidentally, I think people like Katie and rar who notice this
problem would have noticed it during 8.1 if they ever used SGIs.  The
behavior change is only on Solaris, to the best of my knowledge.)
