BSD specific bug. As far as I recall, Blake put a #define for this somewhere.
Should be easy to fix. I don't have BSD, though.

Well, many people seem to run it on their local network and still try to 
connect to the outside. GNUnet is currently not clever enough to detect local 
IPs and discard the host-files. They eventually (after a couple of weeks) 
timeout, though. 
In some version (0.3.4?) we should have some provisions to deal with this 
kinds of problems a bit more gracefully.
