Hi,

I am writing a multicast pim daemon and noticed that if I call 
setsockopt(MRT_ADD_VIF), also occurs for IPv6 too, incorrectly on a 
socket established with socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_PIM)[1] then 
when the application quits I have zombie pimreg (and pimreg6) interfaces 
that can only be disposed of with a reboot.

I have included the code below to give you something (hopefully) 
reproducible; this problem I see on a 2.6.35.4 kernel.  No idea if there 
was ever a safe kernel but maybe all the recent namespace and multiple 
multicast routing table amendments broke something.

Obviously I know for Linux I should be calling setsockopt() on the IGMP 
socket, however I'm pretty sure zombie pim's should not be appearing :)

Cheers

[1] rather than as I should on an IPPROTO_IGMP raw socket
