Hi Alan,
That's just it - I've been using IPaddr2 this whole time, in the
following format: IPaddr2::192.168.5.5/24/eth1:1
As you said, it normally does not assign a virtual interface, unless I
explicitly specify it, as above. This is why I was surprised by the
recurring error message.
Oh... that's now how you specify that it provide a virtual interface
name (at least not that I recall). But, maybe I'm wrong :-)
eth1 normally has only one IP Address bound to it, and there are no
other virtual interfaces associated with eth1. If a virtual interface
number was specified, the proper virtual interface seems to get grabbed
every time, but it keeps printing the error message.
I see the bug :-(.
I'll file a bugzilla...

[Of course, I could be wrong ;-)]
Doubt that, I've got megabytes upon megabytes of logs with that error
message :)
No what I meant was "is my bug description correct"? Does IPaddr*
require ipaddr for monitor, or not? (I don't think it does - the
original code doesn't seem to have).
Regardless of the resolution to the virtual interface support issue,
we've decided to stop depending on the presence of a virtual interface.
Instead, we'll be parsing the results of 'ip addr show', which is the
approach that we should've taken in the first place, in my opinion.
I missed that you were already using ipaddr2.
