The log never really showed anything, but it finally made me question
something.
The /etc/hosts file that I've used since 151a1 needed changing. It seems
rules have tightened up. Quite simply, you can no longer have the
hostname on the 127.0.0.1 line. This should maybe be clarified on the
wiki, since it _had_ been allowed until 151a7.
Interesting... though I've never had the loopbacks with meaningful
names anyway.
I have for ages (don't know why anymore).
But let me guess: did your /etc/hostname.e1000g contain for example:
extname
e1000g0 contained: hastur
or
extname/24
and the /etc/hosts included:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost extname
Correct.
This would indeed not work, because (if the /etc/hostname.* file
does not contain a numeric IP address explicitly), the name for
the interface is matched to the hosts name database to get the IP.
But something changed, as I'm sure the file was not changed since a7.
That's why I'm wondering if rules tightened up.<shrug>
It now works, and I'm making a note of it in my files.

If your hostname file was like above, but hosts contained proper
names:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
192.168.0.1 extname
...then something strange is indeed going on.
