Try to run XORP with empty configuration to see whether you still
have the connection problem.

If you don't see the problem with empty configuration, then try to
incrementally add your configuration bottom-up (e.g., first enable
"interfaces" section, then "fea", "fib2mrib", "mfea", "igmp",
"pimsm4") to see what exactly triggers the problem. For example, do
you explicitly configure the loopback interface or do you install
any unicast routes (via static_routes, rip or bgp).
