Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

NetworkManager modifies /etc/hosts to look like this:

18.111.118.108	balanced-tree	# Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
::1	balanced-tree	localhost6.localdomain6	localhost6
127.0.1.1	balanced-tree

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

But when stopping the network, it does not undo these modifications.
This leaves the system hostname pointing at a non-routable address,
which breaks various applications.
