[zorp] Dummy interface woes (Zorp GPL)

O.K., I've worked through my "silent death" zorpctl problem --
thanks Szalay! The problem there was that the versions of libzorpll
and in http://www.balabit.com/downloads/zorp/2.1/deb/ are mismatched
(zorp was looking for an older library-file). I uninstalled my debs,
and installed the ones in /zorp/2.0/deb.

New problem: when I try to start Zorp, it still fails, but it writes
the following (among other things) to /var/log/messages:

  logging "Binding to dummy interface failed, please create one and
  pass --autobind-ip parameter; autobind=''192.168.1.1'' "

This is what instances.conf looks like:

  blue -v 5 -p /etc/zorp/policy.py -B '192.168.1.1'
  purple -v 5 -p /etc/zorp/policy.py -B '192.168.1.1'
  red -v 5 -p /etc/zorp/policy.py -B '192.168.1.1'

Question: does dummy0 need to be set up in
/etc/networking/interfaces? Or is something else wrong here?

Thanks,
Mick
