This makes absolutely no sense. My FreeBSD 7 laptop has lo0 configured
as 127.0.0.1/8 - THAT IS TO SAY, it has an IP address of 127.0.0.1 and a
netmask of 255.0.0.0 . All other 7 boxes I test have the same, as do all
the 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 boxes. Pray, what netmask does your lo0 have, given
that you insist it has 127.0.0.1/32 ? This would show up in ``ifconfig
lo0'' as=20
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff=20
I very much doubt it is.
