It's certainly weird ... no way should it be using any significant  
amount of cpu.

You should compile with debug and run under gdb with -f to stop it  
forking (or attach to the running process with gdb) and find out what  
it's  doing.

You say 'no loopback or anything' ... if your machine has no loopback  
interface then it's quite likely that could break something as I'm  
sure gdomap assumes that there will be one.  However, I would expect  
that running a machine without a loopback interface would break a lot  
of network apps, so you probably didn't mean that... I guess whatever  
you did mean might still be relevant though.
