IPv6 link local multicast packets for addresses other than ff02::1 do not
seem to be delivered to the application.  The application joins the
multicast group (say ff02::114) and listens (blocks in select).  The address
ff02::114 appears in netstat and ifmcstat, but the no packets appear on
either the receive queue in netstat or in the application.

tcpdump (on sender and receiver) suggests that the packets are being
transmitted correctly and have the correct ethernet MAC address.

Any suggestions?
