Yes, that is an old bug that used to only happen very rarely so it's
interesting that it's happening more frequently now.  The connection gets
put in a permanent error state so that every packet that comes in generates
an abort, and I think the CM should destroy the connection but doesn't.
I'm just thinking that since it's multihomed, one of the other interfaces
should be satisfying the request.  

Just making a nuisance of myself, sorry...
