Sorry about the delay ... I'm getting lots of advice (thanks to all!)
including one from a guy here at work who suggested stopping launchd
... I can't remember the exact command ... but it did stop the
start/stop/start/stop cycle.
And for now, I've installed XQuartz, and everything seems to be ok. I
can run the app that I tried to start yesterday that failed (Matlab).
I'm not at all certain that this will be a robust fix ... we'll see.
