I'd tend to think that, but what should be done? I don't think we want
an assert failure :)
At best I could think of using the patch below, which avoids registering
anything for 0.0.0.0, and use a broadcast to answer a guest which
would have used 0.0.0.0 as a source for whatever reason. I don't find
anything else reasonable. What would be preferred?
