Yep... it's that..

Now that's strange.

I run it a 2nd time with strace... and then nothing happened again
anymore. Also with subsequent tries... and after reboots.

Not sure what this means now... perhaps some state or so is set which
makes it work... and the issue only reappears when the ISP moves the VM
to another host?
Just a blind guess though.

Don't ask me... a listing shows just these:
