No, it is not bug in both. gdomap dont use loopback. 
This is correct way gdomap works. 
But on Linux, there is 'dummy' interface which is something like 
loopback but is not loopback. It just placeholder for IP address.
Enabling 'dummy' interface in kernel adds 0 bytes to size :-)
But it works for GNUstep as real interface. This is why I could 
use GNUstep on Linux (but before I added dummy, I could not use GNUstep).
I had not connected these two events :-(
