Hello,

Thanks for the suggestions.  The combination of checking
/etc/network/interfaces and verifying that rpcbind was listening on
127.0.0.1 led me in the right direction, and boy do I feel silly...

Somehow, my interfaces file was missing the loopback entry, so the loopback
interface showed in the "ifconfig" output but it wasn't actually up.  I
added these lines:

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

Then, after "ifup lo", everything just worked.

I think I wrote the interfaces file from scratch and copied it over the
original, and of course, I didn't include the loopback interface.  *Sigh*.

Thanks again!

    - Dave
