The "Bad address" may be a bit missleading. Looking into the documentation 
of the ErrorCode  14 (socket - recvfrom(), as far as i understood it, a 
bad address can also mean a bad pointer).

http://www.cs.utah.edu/dept/old/texinfo/glibc-manual-0.02/library_2.html
--> says, that errorcode 14 [EFAULT] shows an invalid pointer.

I identified 2 possible positions in code.
The error is thrown inside the OSGDgramSocket.cpp (recvFrom()) at line 
186, called from OSGPointMCastConnection::recvNextDgram() in line 384 OR 
line 421
called from the OSGPointMCastConnection::recvQueue() loop.

But im not understanding whats happening here, so i dont get why it might 
crash with this error-code.
I'll continue in reading about reasons for errorcode 14.

i think we will discuss this test possibility today.

Im still hopeing, that its only a matter of a wrong switch/router 
multicast setup.

Best regards and many thanks for your time and ideas,
