Hi Pierluigi

I see this whenever I start my trap monitor program. My trap monitor program
works fine, despite this message. I always thought it had something to do
with having a (linux) kernel without multicast or something like that. I
haven't investigated it.

Hmm.. I never see the program hang, and I've been doing some testing
with a load of about 20 traps/second.

You might want to run strace and see where it hangs.
