ok, i *thought* i'd done that -- but due to something, perhaps using
sudo instead of su, i made some kind of error, because it turns out that
this problem *is* really limited to my main user account (which of
course makes it *much* less crippling).  ssh out from root or other
accounts (there aren't any other real accounts on this laptop, but i
made up a fake one) work fine.  

I tried deleting my ~/.ssh directory, but that made no
difference.  /etc/ssh/* seem to me to be fine; here's the output of your
grep command, ferndando:
:~$ grep ^[^#] /etc/ssh/ssh_config
Host 192.* mythtv anarres 
StrictHostKeyChecking no 
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
Host *
    SendEnv LANG LC_*
    HashKnownHosts yes
    GSSAPIAuthentication yes
    GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no

ssh localhost fails, but works fine from other accounts; ssh -vvv gives

... and then a long hang.  This is with a fresh ~/.ssh directory...  

tahnks again, and sorry for the misleading misinformation,
