Bug description:
  A change in the mainline kernel to fix a bug in netlink request flag
  handling has exposed a corresponding bug in the use of netlink within
  avahi.  This leads to the daemon hanging during initialisation
  appearing as below:

      $ ps -ef | grep avahi
      avahi     2497     1  0 11:26 ?        00:00:00 avahi-daemon: starting up

  This situation persists indefinatly.  All requests timeout and the
  machine is not visible on the greater network.
