Humm, this gets to demo a system problem since I started to use inotifywait 
for a file monitor.  And the only way to fix it is to discontinue using 
inotifywait in anything and then reboot.

Copy/paste from that screen:
============================
[gene at coyote log]$    ssh -Y -l gene coyote  /usr/bin/env
The authenticity of host 'coyote (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is [expunged]
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'coyote' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
gene at coyote's password:

SSH_CLIENT=127.0.0.1 43178 22

======================
the above response text is painted in the background color, black, so its 
just so much black screen, hence:
=========================
[gene at coyote log]$ ^C
[gene at coyote log]$    ssh -Y -l gene coyote  /usr/bin/env
gene at coyote's password: 
SHELL=/bin/bash
SSH_CLIENT=127.0.0.1 43179 22

LOGNAME=gene
SSH_CONNECTION=127.0.0.1 43179 127.0.0.1 22

_=/usr/bin/env
==================

So that probably explains where the 10.0 is coming from, but not where I 
might change it?  That seems to be the $64k question...

Thanks Pat.
