It's a shame, but I can't tell for sure.  The problem in the IP
multicast code is really easy to hit, but it will be rather hard
to fix it without major changes to the code.  The workaround is to
avoid destroying interfaces with multicast groups still joined on
them.  Both panics you saw seemed to result from the code trying
to use memory structures of a now-deceased interface.
