I guess I'm ok with that.
Ideally, it wouldn't be affected by running a sniffer, so I think best would be to increment
NOPORTS when someone has joined the group on the interface and IGNOREDMULTI when nobody has,
but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble to check. So I'm good with that, or IGNOREDMULTI all
the time.
