--- Comment #13 from Kristof Provost <kp@freebsd.org> ---
Re-assigning an IPv6 address that=E2=80=99s already there seems to trigger =
this.

I=E2=80=99m still investigating, but I believe the problem is that ifconfig=
 deletes the
IP address before setting it again. The delete ends up calling in6_purgeadd=
r(),
which marks the relevant multicast groups as no longer needed, but leaves t=
heir
actual removal to mld_fasttimo() (i.e. asynchronously).
The IP address gets added again, and either the groups don=E2=80=99t get re=
-added or
they don=E2=80=99t get marked as needed. This bit I=E2=80=99m still unclear=
 on, but as I said:
I=E2=80=99m still digging.
