New Ticket: TV startup problem on Mac/Intel

Hi:
I have a recent binary installation of 31Dec2010 on a Mac/Intel laptop (OS X 10.5.8), and it is fully up to date via MNJ (as of today).  I have been able to load images into the TV after installation. But after the first few uses, the TV can no longer start up.

Here are the starting messages:

[~]$ . /usr/local/aips/LOGIN.SH
[~]$ aips tpok tv=local
START_AIPS: Will use or start first available Unix Socket based TV
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the 
START_AIPS:  - system name , AIPS type

AIPS 1: You are assigned TV device/server   2

?UNIXSERVERS: TVSRV1 is already running on host localhost, user shami
UNIXSERVERS: Start XAS1 on localhost, DISPLAY /tmp/launch-EWM93Y/:0
XAS: ** TrueColor FOUND!!!

UNIXSERVERS: Start graphics server TKSRV1 on localhost, display /tmp/launch-EWM93Y/:0
UNIXSERVERS: Start message server MSSRV1 on localhost, display /tmp/launch-EWM93Y/:0

No TV comes up, although everything else seems to be fine. I suspect this may have something to do with inet services vs unix sockets? (I have not edited /etc/services to enable any ports for aips.) But that doesn't explain the "Shared memory ID failure". Nor why it worked the first few times.

Thanks in advance for your help!
