The reason is ORBIT (the Gnome CORBA system); it uses the system's
Internet Address for local inter-process communication.  ORBIT is an
indirect dependency of GnuCash, it's something that gets used by our
dependencies, but not directly by Gnucash.  It's not our code, and it's
not something that we can easily fix.
