Your change makes it so that broadcasts sent to 255.255.255.255 will 
be transmitted on all interfaces marked with a ONES_BCAST flag, right?
A nice solution to the problem; I was gonna hack it so such packets
were sent on all interfaces with IFF_BROADCAST.  I like your solution
better.  I'm happy to know that will be in 5.2 and I have PR or two
to assign over to you so you can close them.  ;^)
