I don't have a solution, but I recall similar symptoms when I attempted 
adding a router to a machine that previously was config'd with a static 
IP. As soon as I added the router, and reconfig'd the box to get its ip 
dynamically from the router, Gnumeric stopped working. I ran strace like 
you did, and I saw the same message (but with my old static ip in there 
instead or your ip).

The router was a temporary thing anyway, so when I removed it, and 
re-config'd the machine to assign its ip manually, the problem you and I 
both experienced immediately went away.

It was as though Gnumeric wasn't aware that I had changed how the ip was 
assigned!

I know this isn't a solution, but perhaps both of our having similar 
problems related to Gnumeric and the ip address may be of some help to 
someone else that can diagnose the problem.
