	The basic problem is that when a downstream neighbor poisoned 
	the cisco, the tunnel didn't get put into the OLIST for the 
	(for that (S,G)). On inspection, it turns out that this
	occurs only when ip dvmrp unicast-routing is configured on
	a dvmrp tunnel. Turning off 'dvmrp unicast-routing' on the
	tunnel solves this problem. We'll harden this up (i.e.,
	check for 'ip dvmrp unicast-routing' on a dvmrp tunnel)
	so that this doesn't occur again.

	Dave
