problem with gpm (also X11) in 2.1.128/2.1.129

This problem started in 2.1.128 and is still in 2.1.129.
I didn't have the problem in 2.1.127 and I made
essentially no changes to the kernel config since then
(other than to reply N to various new modules).

2.1.129 is working OK on my workstation, but fails
on my laptop.

gpm (version 1.13) is failing with the message:

gpm: socket(): Invalid argument

startx is also failing with a similar message.

The tail end of strace gpm shows:

munmap(0x4000b000, 22046) = 0
personality(PER_LINUX) = 0
getpid() = 1374
setuid(0) = 0
socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not
implemented)
socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not
implemented)
socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid
argument)
write(2, "gpm: socket(): Invalid argument\n"..., 32gpm: socket():
Invalid argument) = 32
_exit(1)

Any ideas?
