Generally I tend to start at the end and once I've found where it  
dumps out the error message, start working back from that to see what  
caused it.

It looks like it's querying /etc/hosts for something - do you have  
some strange setup in there?

13865 read(15, "192.168.8.11            localhos"..., 4096) = 530

localhost should be 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.8.11 should be called  
something else. Perhaps you could post the relevant snippets of /etc/ 
hosts ?
