I've run into a wierd problem with ssh and X forwarding from my laptop.
It's running -STABLE CVSup'd as of this morning at 9am, but the problem
has been in exhibit for a while now.  I've tried the system installed
verion of ssh, a hand compiled version of openssh 3.0.2p1, and ssh 1.2.27.
All fail.  They all return the following:

%xv
xv: Can't open display

X11Forwarding is set to yes and X11DisplayOffset is set to 10.  This
worked fine on 4.3-R (which is what I was running prior to migrating to
4.5-S).  All the ipf[w] and ipv6 options in rc.conf are off.  Has anyone
else seen this, and/or already know what's going on?

Just to verify that it's not a single install, I migrated my desktop from
4.3-R to 4.5-S via CVSup as well, and it now has the same problem.  I'm
CVSup'ing src-all, ports-all, and doc-all.  I use 'make world' post
cvsup; then reboot and config -r the kernel config file, remake the
kernel, and reboot again.

I've tried displaying to Irix 6.5.11m, Win2k w/Exceed3d 6.2, and FreeBSD
4.3-R XF86 4.0.3, all fail, so I'm pretty sure this is a -stable issue.
