Fix bug#6781: Use 127.0.0.1 for local hosts, not "localhost". * lisp/server.el (server-start): Revert part of 2010-08-08 change. Using address 127.0.0.1 for local host is now done in Fmake_network_process. * src/process.c (Fmake_network_process): When arg :host is 'local, use address 127.0.0.1, not name "localhost".
