I don't think it has anything to do with TTL, since that's a L3 thing.
This is the switch processor complaining. It could very well seem
multicast related, considering the "rpf", "oif" and "ltl" TLAs.

Considering the "index change event", could it be related to some
multicast registration of some kind going wrong?
