Description

In a Mini-NDN-Wifi environment, we have repeatedly received fatal errors from bind when creating UDP multicast faces, as well as noticing a UDP multicast face being initalized twice. This likely occurs from changing IP addresses in the program's setup, but the error message does not provide much detail. It's also noteworthy that the UDP multi-cast factory seems to be invoked twice for the same interface. An example log is attached below.

I'm trying to debug this with Alexander.
The bind that fails is on sta2-wlan0 with address fe80::ff:fe00:100%sta2-wlan0 (link scope). sta2-wlan0 is an emulated wireless interface using 80211_hwsim.

I could not reproduce the problem on Ubuntu 18.04 using either veth or mac80211_hwsim interfaces. The multicast faces are always created successfully.

Can you test outside mini-ndn (possibly with a simplified setup, e.g. only one pair of mac80211_hwsim interfaces) and see if you still experience the crash?

We are running on 16.04, but I will check on 18.04.
