485 is fine. It handles things that need root permissions during startup. It is a LaunchDaemon which will terminate on its own after a little bit (I think 60s).
477 is X11.app and is probably throttling restart due to something waiting on the $DISPLAY socket. Please do the following.
1) Reboot
2) From Terminal.app run:
sudo /usr/X11/bin/font_cache -fsv
3) From Terminal.app run:
DISPLAY="" /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin
That should help eliminate the throttling restart interfering with debugging.
Thanks.
