It's another of those damned undocumented "features" that has
crept it to 2.2. The kernel will no longer allow packets with
source addresses that start with 127 to be sent on any interface
that does not have the IFF_LOOPBACK flag set (i.e. all but lo).
If you have syslogd set to log debug messages you will get a
complaint for every single such packet written to your log file.
Diald doesn't see any traffic on its proxy because the kernel
won't give it any traffic on its proxy. With 2.2 you will just
have to invent some "real" addresses instead of using some of
that convenient, and ridiculously large, 127 space :-(.
