A shot in the dark: recent linux distros come with IPv6 enabled by default. This seems to cause problems for some apps. I had to disable mine, for example, because I couldn't get SMTP working correctly over a port-forwarded ssh connection. The server didn't like the EHLO command my mail client was generating:
EHLO [::1]
Note that ::1 is an IPv6 loopback address.
Granted, this has probably nothing to do with the problem you're trying to figure out, but you never know. The only reason I remembered is because you mentioned 127.0.0.1.
I just checked: I don't have IPv6 on this machine, but I do at work. Both exhibit the same behavior.
