Here's another reason to move the socket to the local filesystem.
I'm running afterstep on netbsd-mac68k-1-4, which shares the home
directory with a netbsd-i386-1-4 box. It works well enough, but about
1 time in 3, Wharf fails to start with "...could not connect to
socket...". I have to telnet in and kill afterstep to get past it.
I suspect some kind of nfs caching effect is responsible.
