Comment:

 Please see my branch exitpolicy-multicast on
 https://github.com/teor2345/tor.git
 It fixes this issue for master.

 It doesn't need to be backported to 0.2.6 or 0.2.7,  as neither
 implementation uses tor_addr_is_public_for_reject. (Also, triggering this
 issue would require an operator to explicitly configure a multicast
 address in their torrc, at which point they'd have bigger issues.)
