>Description:
when trying to send packets via loopback interface there occurs strange packet loss:

nephrite@nephrite:/usr/home/nephrite$ ping 127.0.0.1
..
--- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
134 packets transmitted, 65 packets received, 51% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.053/0.067/0.124/0.009 ms

the same for any local network services like sendmail or oops http proxy. "Real" network interfaces like my 3Com card work fine.

Here is ifconfig output:
