I think I found a possible reason, my vxlan interface is on top of eth1

7: vxlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue
state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT 
    link/ether 96:06:c6:cf:a0:2e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    vxlan id 12340 group 239.0.0.42 dev eth1 port 32768 61000 ageing 300 

but the multicast group is joined only on eth0

root@...scDA-VXLAN:~/iproute2# ip maddr
1:	lo
	inet  224.0.0.1
	inet6 ff02::1
2:	eth0

	inet  224.0.0.1
	inet6 ff02::1:ffcf:a02e
	inet6 ff02::1

At first glance I did not spot the issue with my two weeks of C, so
someone else has to hunt this down.
