I brought out the things some time ago but there was not much reaction
or agreement on what to do (yes, I know, I should learn CVS, get commit
privs and act...)

Furthermore I am not fully convinced that our udp stack is broken. For
the first patch, having loopback on multicast socket is a configurable
feature so there is no point in changin the default behaviour when 1-2
line change can fix the thing.

For the ICMP response behaviour, I agree that there would be better
to fix the kernel but the current behaviour is not totally unreasonable.

	Cheers
