I finally got our local CVS repository back into shape and gave this
patch a try.  Unfortunately got a panic as soon as our multicast app
started up:

panic: _mtx_lock_sleep: recursed on non-recursive mutex in_multi_mtx @ /d2/emaste/cvs_mcast/src/sys/netinet/ip_output.c:298

cpuid = 0

in_addmulti holds the in_multi_mtx when it calls _joingroup.

I haven't yet looked over the whole patch to understand the
specifics.  I'll post again once I do if I have any ideas.
