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.
