A workaround is not to destroy an interface when pim6sd is running on
the interface.

Note that this kind of trouble is not specific to pim6sd.  Dynamic
interface creation/deletion is a big architectural change to the
traditional BSD kernel, and I bet there are many other applications
affected by such an operation.
