All I can suggest is checking lo0 to make sure it is using 127.0.0.1.
See what
# ifconfig -a
shows.

If lo0 is not 127.0.0.1, that would explain it, since the rpcbind stuff uses
127.0.0.1.

Note that 127.0.0.1 gets added automatically when "-h" is used.

Btw, I don't think I changed anything w.r.t. this between 14.1 and 14.2,
so it is likely some other network related change.
