hmm... it seems that 4.2.0 opened the broadcast address anyhow... it just 
avoided opening all the other interfaces when given -L.  so really the 
only regression here is that it's opening way more fds than it needs to... 
especially if you give it "-L eth0".

oh btw -- if there are more than ~512 interfaces ntpd will happily 
overwrite stuff past the end of an array.  it never tests if idx >= 
MAXINTERFACES before assigning to the array.
