Ok, I can finally reproduce it (without /etc/hostconfig settings or / etc/hosts settings) via: ~ $ xauth add :0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ce234f956a2ddef8eb2d94fb9bd6af81 ~ $ xauth add localhost:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ce234f956a2ddef8eb2d94fb9bd6af81 ~ $ xauth remove localhost:0 Bus error --- This works: ~ $ xauth add localhost:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ce234f956a2ddef8eb2d94fb9bd6af81 ~ $ xauth remove localhost:0 --- And the sequence causing the bus error seems to work fine on linux.

Just 'jnlt'. In my /etc/hosts I have '127.0.0.1 localhost jnlt'.
