This patch just by-passes the hack altogether. I haven't looked into the
details of what the hack does, nor do I know about vic or vat, so this
patch may not be the optimal solution. Anyway, I used it on my box, and
it did do the trick.

There must be other people who stumbled across this quirk. At the very
least, it should be clearly documented, where a sysadmin setting up
multicast streaming would find it.
