[j-nsp] IPv6 multicast -- stuck in spt-pending

Daniel,

       once  the  shared  tree  is  equal  to  the spt we will stay in
       spt-pending  state which is perfectly ok and not a bug. PR55948
       is a rpd assertion and somewhat totally different from what you
       describe here.

       thanks
       Josef
