I know that this is a valid fix, if I sounded like I was dismissing it, my
apologies.
For the sake of completeness, I've tried your suggestion, and yes, FG works
as expected. :-)

And in fact, if my machine was on a static IP, I'd consider changing the
/etc/hosts without a second thought.

But with DHCP, I don't see a clean solution, other than writing a script to
update the /etc/hosts every time a new address is leased.

So, the choices are:
1) ask every Ubuntu user to re-discover that their stock configuration
doesn't work and download this particular script (I've double-checked, and
there's no such script in /etc/rc*.d or /etc/network/ )

2) apply the simple fix I proposed, after verifying that there are no
side-effects.

My vote goes to the simpler one. :-)
