>Description:
	The code in 4.4 for ip-mcast is ancient. It doesn't know about encap
tunnels - only src-route tunnels. Needless to say, the MBONE doesn't do these
any more. The code should be updated to at least the pre-4.4lite merge version.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	Bring back the pre-4.4 lite version of ip-mcast or update to the 3.2
version.
