This means XWin is taking very long to startup. Maybe because of a virus scanner?
The xterms will timeout after no connection to the xserver could be established.
The second xserver will notice the first one and will silently exit but now the
xterms can connect to the first xserver.

Adding a sleep after run XWin might help by postponing the xterm startup.
