5.50) OpenWindows fails with "Binding Unix Socket: Invalid argument"

This usually only happens on diskless/dataless clients. You installed a new kernel jumbo patch on the server that exports /usr to the client and failed to read the note in the patch readme that says:

NOTE:       If this patch is applied to a server, it should
            also be applied to dataless clients that also
            mount /usr from that server.  Failure to do so will
            generate this error message when openwin is started
            on the client:  "Binding Unix socket: Invalid argument".

The fix is to apply the same kernel jumbo patch to the client.
