Hmm, another strange thing in your STRACE file is :


12928 open("/proc/net/if_inet6", O_RDONLY) = 6
12928 fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
12928 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1, 0) = 0x7fc54a719000
12928 lseek(6, 0, SEEK_SET)             = 0
12928 read(6, "fe80000000000000922b34fffe33c292"..., 1024) = 54


So /proc/net/if_inet6 doesnt include lo device on your machine ?
