Sometime recently /etc/hosts seems to have been changed such that:

::1	localhost
lies before
127.0.0.1	localhost

making some applications (bind9.2.1's rndc bit me in the ass) bomb out
when trying to connect to 'localhost' in this context.

is there a real compelling reason to put the ipv6 variant first?
