We just looked at the RedHat kernel source...sure enough...it checks to
see if it's v1, and it not, it just blindly puts "v2" in /proc/net/igmp,
even though it's really talking v3.  Style.

So all my machines are really talking v3...I'll force v3 on the switches
now and see if that helps.

A quick way to tell... is take RH EL 2.1 or RH 8.0 machine and add it to
the opteron cluster....Both those OS's do not do IGMP v3 (with stock
kernel).  And gmond should see the rest of the Opteorn machines.
