Hi,

Can you just kill the previous gkrellmd and remove all the allow-host lines in
config file. Then, start a new one with "gkrellmd --allow-host 127.0.0.1"?

If the problem is still there, try "gkrellmd --allow-host ::ffff:127.0.0.1"
instead. So I can check if this is a bug only affect version 2.2.5, as it works
quite well in 2.2.7
