To be honest I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature, user configuration
issue or a security problem. (so point me in the right direction if I'm
lost)

Basically startx can be run from a remote terminal, which will spawn
XFree86 on the local console (display 0).

If XFree86 is already running, the remote terminal displays an
(expected) XFree86 error about the display 0 already being active. After
a CTRL+C a core dump is issued for the window-manager (only tested with
Blackbox).

uname -a
FreeBSD XX.YY.ZZ 5.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p1 #0: Tue Feb  4
23:45:23 CET 2003     tigger@XX.YY.ZZ:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PIGLET i386

XFree86 is XFree86-4.2.0_1,1 from the ports.
