Title:
  avahi-daemon dies after about a minute

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  So I thought I'd try running Vagrant inside of an Ubuntu VM to do some
  development work as detailed here:
  http://taoofmac.com/space/HOWTO/Vagrant

  When the box starts up, there is a short delay before broadcasting
  begins, and I'm able to ping the guest (in this case registered as
  "hobo-container.local").

  Then, after a minute or two, it stops responding.  The logs look like
  this:

  Oct 15 14:42:46 hobo-container systemd[1]: avahi-daemon.service failed.

  So it looks like it's starting again, waiting for about a minute, and
  then dying again.  Testing bears this out. When I issue the start, I'm
  able to ping the guest by its avahi-broadcasted hostname again until
  the process dies.

  Interestingly, if I merely run avahi-daemon as root, the process stays
  running and doesn't die. It's been going strong for 10 minutes now
  with no change in ouput from

  `watch ping -o hobo-container.local` from the host machine.
