Thanks to Joost (or rather an account on joost's machine), I know how to fix
it. I had a route set up like:

127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0      193 lo

Changing this so it doesn't route to localnet, but just to localhost fixed
it. 

But why? And is there any reason to prefer the above routing entry to the 
one below, or vice-versa?

127.0.0.1       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        1 lo
