I'd assumed that there weren't any operating systems vulverable to "dead
socket"s, but that sure sounds like what you've got. A socket isn't
closed properly when a program exits, and the IP stack doesn't make it
available. Only cure - reboot (or stop/restart stack, on really old
systems with add-on IP stacks).

No. It's perplexing. There is no sign of a pid file and vncserver -kill
:10 won't work because it can't find the pid! I don't know why Xvnc
thinks something is running on :10.
Some of you made the helpful suggestion that /tmp/.X11-unix/ is causing
the problem. Maybe so, but I don't see evidence of that. The same user
was able to run :11 and create the X11 lock file in the /tmp/.X11-unix/
directory. There is no X10 file in that directory.
Subsequently, I have gotten users running :12, :13, :14, and all of them
have the same group/user permissions as the user who couldn't run on :10.
It was only 10 that had a problem, not 9, 11, etc.!! Strange.
