It's fixed.  mergemaster swapped these two lines in /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.ne.mediaone.net
::1                     localhost localhost.ne.mediaone.net

to 

::1                     localhost localhost.ne.mediaone.net
127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.ne.mediaone.net

This apparently confused the tunnel binary.  An strace with a
``fixed'' /etc/hosts shows a connect to 127.0.0.1, which makes a lot
more sense.

Thanks for everything,
