CVS commit: src/sys/netinet6

[David Young <dyoung%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   dyoung

Modified Files:
        src/sys/netinet6: in6_src.c

Log Message:
Restore historical kernel behavior: let an application bind(2) an
IPv6 interface address (e.g., sin6_addr fe80::200:24ff:fec3:4bac
sin6_scope_id 1), set a multicast interface with
setsockopt(,IPPROTO_IPV6,IPV6_MULTICAST_IF,), and sendto(2) multicast
destinations with "wildcard" scope ID, 0, without error EHOSTUNREACH.

Prior to this patch, sendto(2) would exit with EHOSTUNREACH, even
though the scope ID was unambiguously specified both by bind(2)
and setsockopt(2).  This was a bug because it broke old applications.

Thanks JINMEI Tatuya for the patch!
