With my patch, the mcast executable is still runnable by manual.

I think it's better to have environment-independent, fixed tests
instead of switching tests according to environments. Rump kernels
should be able to mimic your test environment and in that case all
tests should pass.

So please show me your test environment (ifconfig and netstat -nr).
I will tweak t_mcast.sh to reproduce that.
