this was also the case. there were a handful of files that somehow lost their execute permissions. I reinstalled from the latest version of the boot disks, changed the 127.0.0.0 problem, uncommented the daemons, and all was well. (hmm, how about a utility that runs around the disk, finds these kinds of parameters, & saves them, so it can fix evil happenings later? If i knew enoght, i'd write one . . .)
