I have seen an odd occurrence with Fedora Core 2 & 3. Once in a while "lo" gets disconnected from 127.0.0.1. It is still there for ::1 (ipv6), but it just vanishes for ipv4. The two machines have both been AMD64 processors running a 64 bit kernel. The other machines I have running 32 bit versions of Fedora heve never had this problem that I have observed. Has anyone else seen this problem? Ideas why? It is actually important as is screws up ssh tunneling. I have not checked bugzilla because I am not quite certain what to search for in this case. -- We are living in the "interesting times" the fortune cookies warned us about.
