Thank you!  I knew there was a some integration between igmp and interface state
changes, but couldn't find it!  Nevertheless, yes, thats the report I'm getting,
not so much the lack of membership reports, but the lack of multicast reception
in perpituity after a link state change.  I'm still gathering data on why, so
I'm not 100% sure on the lack of the membership report, but now that you've
shown me the path between state changes and igmp updates, I can figure out more
precisely whats going on.

Thanks!
Neil
