Ahh.. waitaminute.. there was a loopback entry in /etc/hosts for the local hostname.. delete that line completely and it also now works.

Speaking of which:

You probably have a decent amount of pull in the Linux community. Can you tell everybody that this default of having the local hostname in /etc/hosts as 127.0.0.1 is complete brokenness, please? I know it's not a Linux issue, but virtually every distribution does it and it's 100% wrong. It causes a lot of problems like this.
