I am running Linux Emulation on a 2.2 CURRENT kernel and upon launching
an IP multicast-aware application (NT) I get the following error
messages:

	% nt
	ttl=16 multicast address: 224.9.9.9  port: 32414
	can't join group: Invalid argument
	setsockopt IP_MULTICAST_TTL  

is that because the socket routines in the shared linux library libc
(???) are not compiled with multicasting? Any pointers as to where to get a
multicast-ready version of this library?
