Well that's good to know. Unfortunately my environment is highly dynamic
so the 'stubnet' solution isn't really practical. I want the effects to
cascade from the interface changes.

I've done a simply patch to the add interface code to stop the socket
opening and I now have an interesting selection of segfaults to sort
out :)
