More background. People may be wondering why this is even an issue for
FreeBSD as a router.

The answer: the imo_membership array contains members which exist
as separate entries for each ifnet in the system, and the system where
this was observed to be a problem had a number of ifnet interfaces
which was larger than IP_MAX_MEMBERSHIPS (20).
