Yes that commit is the culprit. Previously it was ignoring igmp_join 
errors, and now it's not but at the same time, it's trying to double 
join that group on the socket that is reused.

Will try to cook a patch here, thanks for the report!

If you need a hack for now, just ignore vxlan_igmp_join() return value 
at vxlan_open() and it should be fine.
