IRIX 8.3 problem

I have an IRIX machine updated to the proto-8.3-alpha system packs.
When I try to log in as systest after a period of no one being logged
in, an X error flashes in the console window and then the X server
restarts, so I can't read it.  If I try to log in again, it works
fine.  If I log in as root after the failure and look for dangling
session stuff, I can't find any, so I don't know what state changes
between the two attempts.

I also don't get a warning about being unable to update the group
list, despite the same named problem existing.  Not sure if these
things are related.  I haven't seen the same problem with sipbtest
(which has a Hesiod grplist) yet, but I haven't necessarily tried
under the same conditions.
