Thanks for the info. Are you sure that you only reverted the one delta?
Oddly, when I do the same I still have trouble resolving via localhost (i.e.
with or without revision 1.134). I can only get DNS via localhost working
again by explicitely adding 127.0.0.1 to lo0.
If anything I suspect that something is preventing 127.0.0.1 from being
assigned to lo0 at boot (maybe my commit, but I don't see how). But again,
I'm still looking into it. :|
