Linus: Alan says this is an issue with your patches to the tcp code.
('course he's always quick to place blame ;)

Ever since about 1.3.62, (this worked with 1.3.59+mark6), I can't use
irc to connect to the ircd running on the same machine.. However,
people 'on the outside' can use my ircd without any problems. I can
also use any ircd 'on the outside', just not 127.0.0.1.

I'm one of many LinuxNet geeks experiencing this problem...
