Xerrors file filling up with rejection messages; but from whom?

My /var/dt/Xerrors files is receiving every few seconds an error message
similar to the following:

AUDIT: Mon Aug 6 14:13:51 2001: 967 X: client 24 rejected from IP <the
server's own IP address!> port <random port number>

967 is the PID of a process running X (/usr/bin/X11/X), which itself is
being run from dtlogin (/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon).

How can I find out what "client 24" is?

Obviously, something about X or CDE is misconfigured. Any suggestions?
Note that I have set Dtlogin.errorLogSize: 50 (units are KB, the
comments say) in /etc/dt/config/Xconfig months ago; yet the Xerrors file
grows unchecked, and I continually have to cp /dev/null to it.
