Done, no change.

sendmsg(3, {msg_name(28)={sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(58), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "ff02::2", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\200\0\0\0\3252\0\0010T\275H\274\314\7\0\10\t\n\v\f\r\16\17\20\21\22\23\24\25\26\27\30"..., 64}], msg_controllen=32, {cmsg_len=32, cmsg_level=SOL_IPV6, cmsg_type=, ...}, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 64

vs. 

sendmsg(3, {msg_name(28)={sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(58), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "ff02::9", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\200\0\0\0\3162\0\1+T\275H\255K\16\0\10\t\n\v\f\r\16\17\20\21\22\23\24\25\26\27\30"..., 64}], msg_controllen=32, {cmsg_len=32, cmsg_level=SOL_IPV6, cmsg_type=, ...}, msg_flags=0}, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

don't push too hard on ping6, I just included it to show that all
processes are affected sending to this particular group.
