John has run into somewhat of a road-block while performing stress tests
with ipnet, in that he is continuously running into existing Nevada bug
6606991:

6606991 panic assertion failure !ill->ill_join_allmulti for multicast router

Our ipnet code exposes this existing bug more easily than did the
previous test case which involved starting a multicast routing daemon.
In addition to our stress tests, it's also possible to hit this bug with
ipobs by running "snoop -I <intf>" while changing the address of the
interface (without first bringing the interface down).  In any case, I
decided to finally get to the bottom of this bug in order to facilitate
our stress testing.  The fix is here:

Please review, we need to include this fix with the ipobs putback.
