The problem is more important than I was thinking. For instance:

$ xpdf 2010.pdf
XtUngrabButton(drawArea,3,0)
Warning: Attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab
$ xpdf 2010.pdf
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
zsh: exit 1     xpdf 2010.pdf
$ xpdf 2010.pdf
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
zsh: exit 1     xpdf 2010.pdf
$ xpdf 2010.pdf
XtUngrabButton(drawArea,3,0)
Warning: Attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab

all in the same session, within 10 minutes, and without modifying
files.

The question is why do I sometimes get failures for a short period of
time, without a more meaningful error message about the cause? Are
these failures due to the SSH client or the SSH server?

(For me, in order to remember: the local machine is ypig and the remote
machine is patate.)
