I found an anonmaly related to this, and if you check your /etc/hosts
you probably have the localhost as the first entry, for some strange
reason, it appears that Java 2 assumes that the first entry is the
hostname of the machine, and then resolves this, and gets the corresponding
ip address.
I don't know if it will return an unrelated name, if it was first (I
only have two entries in the /etc/hosts, localhost, and my machine
name, but if localhost is first, Java 2 thinks that this is the hostname,
and this causes problems with CORBA.
Put your machine name first, and the problem goes away. (I know it is a
hack, but I have mailed this problem description before).
