a simple fix is to add this line to your hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost
alt least that fixed it on cyanogenmod 7
here is a tutorial how to do that on a rooted device

The line "127.0.0.1 localhost" was already present in my hosts file.

A post on 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/android-scripting/akC4a_mDldU
 is suggesting the hosts file entry "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost".

However, that didn't solve the issue on my device either.
(Samsung Galaxy W with stock Android 2.3.6)
