This is also beyond the ipfilter firewalling rules/level, which do/does allow any kind of traffic on the loop- back if/localhost. I noticed this when I used mpg123 to play mp3s, which always worked well (I cron'ed it to wake me up in the morning for example), but some weeks ago or so it stopped and I don't know why this could be.
