Hmm... I think anycast/multicast addresses received from your one-hop 
neighbors should never appear inside your own Hello message, only your own 
anycast/multicast ips (as LOCAL_IF = OTHER_IF). This would solve the problem, 
but NHDP would be unable to tell you anycast/multicast membership more than 
one hop away.
