Have you tried 1.3.76 yet? I was having problems with PPP in
1.3.7[45]. but the IRQ fixes cleared it up pretty well.

-> - IRC/IRCD connection via the localhost (loopback) interface does not work.

I suspect this is a Feature, not a bug. Does ircd try to bind to the
127.0.0.1 address explicitly? If so, then it's probably due to the
tightened port binding rules. Someone with the know-how care to
comment?
