I've had the same thing happen to me.  The cause was an entry in
/etc/hosts with multiple aliases for the client, with the primary name of
the client not appearing first.  Example for a client named hamlet: 

129.14.43.10  gretel hamlet zeus 

I received the same exact messages as you did.  When I switched the entry to: 

129.14.43.10 hamlet gretel zeus 

it booted fine.  

Hope this helps.
