    I've implemented the fix you've suggested. Thanks!

    I probably wouldn't need to bind sockets to each interface if I were doing
    purely broadcast traffic. I'm happy with what works for the time being,
    however; I may revisit this if I ever implement IPv6 support for the daemon
    I'm currently hacking. IP_ONESBCAST has saved a lot of trouble for me.
