In the module lib/interface.c there is a bug in the routine
interfaces_changed().
It calls the routine get_interfaces() to determine if any new interfaces
have been added.
If the underlying operating system and TCP/IP program do not provide this
information the routine get_interfaces returns -1.
This is not checked in the module interfaces_changed, and results in a
memcmp being called with -1 bytes.
The fix is to ensure that the value for n is > 0. If n <= 0, then false
should be returned.
