As it turns out, system-config-network was choking on the size of my hosts file - 800k. I guess it doesn't like 'em that big. When I temporarily gave it a normal hosts file, it handled it just fine. Then I moved my big one back in place. I found something similar in Bugzilla. Maybe this will help someone else.
