Since this didn't fix the problem of smcroute crashing I had to take 
a closer look myself.

I filed https://github.com/troglobit/smcroute/issues/207 for smcroute

And sent:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240509161919.3939966-1-kuba@kernel.org/
and
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240509161952.3940476-1-kuba@kernel.org/

Please don't use netcat in tests in the future. There are two
incompatible implementations which always cause hard to repro
issues.
