Scott, most probably, you've got a glibc problem on your Red Hat box. Try upgrading to a newer version of glibc, and if the problem (mysqld dies when trying to connect from anywhere else than localhost) has gone, I was right :)
(There was a very similar question a couple of days ago on this list. I don't know if the Red Hat problem is exactly the same as the SuSE problem I could solve by updating glibc, but the symptom is the same.)
