X11 errors (frustrating!!)

Has anybody run into a problem with X11 that you are unable
to 'xinit' when a .xinitrc file is present? Here is what has
happened...
X11 was installed and has been running mostly problem free
since probably around Sept of last year. I rebooted the system
one day about two weeks ago, and when I tried to bring x11 up,
I would get such errors as "Toolkit cannot open display", or
"fatal error foo..." and drop back to my shell. A process stat
showed all the binaries that get executed in my .xinitrc file
running still, and manual killing is needed to removed them.
Then, I discovered that I was getting this error on the console:
KERNEL: allocq: out of queues
I discovered that when I removed my .xinitrc file, I could bring
X11 up, using the default settings. I also discovered that I could
only execute maybe one or two other xwindow type binaries from that
window, before it crashes the server and returns that KERNEL error.
What is going on here? I have rebuilt the X server, I have also
reloaded the streams and rebuilt my kernel. I had made no changes
to anyting in the system, just rebooted it. It rebooted gracefully
with no filesystems crashing, etc...
My system configuration includes a 33 Mhz system board with 64k
cache, 8 megs of RAM, and a 80387. Any help or suggestions would
be greatly appreciated. Please email the replies to me, and I will
post a summary later.
