The upstream author Neil Brown thinks it is ill advised to use any other
address than 127.0.0.1 for loopback. It is unclear to us both what the
third-party application is doing in my case, it does not seem to create
a second loopback interface as far as ifconfig can tell. He suggested
another patch instead, but it did not work. After reporting this in July
2010 I never heard back from him again. I am losing hope about getting
it fixed...
I still need the patched portmap to use the application in question -
this is an old, unsupported, closed-source application. Maybe I'll add
the patched portmap to my PPA to make it easier for others in the same
situation.
