Well, Gene's usually the one to jump all over this, but he didn't
this time, so I guess I will :-)

Don't use "localhost"; use the machine's real domain name
instead.

Actually I doubt that the one in disklist is the problem, since
the estimates were collected ok.  However:

One of those configure-time localhost's might be screwing things
up...

When I came back around from the dark side, there in front of me would
be the landing area where the crew was, and the Earth, all in the view
of my window. I couldn't help but think that there in front of me was
all of humanity, except me.
