Following this link, I find you wrote this:
| Gentoo handbook should clearly state that if the system has permanent
| only IPv6 address, the /etc/hosts entries should look like this: 
| 2001:5C0:8FFF:FFFE:0:0:0:33AB kestrel kestrel.twibright.com
| 127.0.0.1 localhost kestrel

That's the first I've seen about your machine having only an IPv6 address 
and no ipv4 address besides 127.0.0.1.

The version to be released soon has a lot of IPv6 changes (fixes), so I'd 
suggest you try the latest release candidate (currently 6.2.9-rc6) and 
see if that works any better for you using Gentoo's 
recommended /etc/hosts configuration (i.e. without your machine name on 
the 127.0.0.1 line).
