Okay, weird. At

         http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/AG/Software/Linux/new-vv/ag-vrm- 
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/AG/Software/Linux/new-vv/ag-vrm-1.08-1.i3 
86.rpm

you'll find updated vrm code that adds a button to the device details 
window that will dump the config file for that device out to the terminal 
window from which vrm was executed.

What you should do is set up a device in the manner that crashes the 
machine, spit the configratuion out, and copy/paste it to a file. Then run 
vic against that file:

         vic -u config-file 224.1.2.3/12000

and see if you get a crash. If so, send the config file along to me and 
I'll see if it looks weird.
