bug#18914: 2.0.11 REPL server listens on 127.0.0.1 but not "localhost"

[Taylan Kammer]

I don't have access to the exact system anymore since it's been more than
6 years, but on a Debian with the exact same /etc/hosts I can't reproduce
the issue anymore.  Since I was apparently the only one who could repro it
in the first place, I'm closing it now. :-)

Maybe that was the case on that system for some reason, despite the IPv4
address being on top in /etc/hosts and nslookup giving 127.0.0.1.

Maybe it was even a bug with the ncat I had installed, who knows.
