Log Message:
On the first day (that being the eighth day of the eighth month,) the
building was completed only to discover that within there lay havoc.

On the second day all just groaned and moaned, and it must be someone
else's problen.

On the third day, St. Martin stepped in and traced the culprit, which
provided inspiration, and a correction was made.

Forevermore all were agog at just how such a trivial thing could do
so much damage...

OK...   to be a little less vague.   The loopback interface is a truly
"special" thing, and rump knew that - and treated it very specially.
Unfortunately, when the loopback interface is changed, and rump does
not keep up, bad things happen.

This (overall) might, or might not, be the correct fix - but for now
it appears to work.   If someone, sometime, finds a better way to
deal with the issues of the loopback interfaces true majesty, feel
free to revert this and do it another way.
