it happens on localhost, too.

The other workaround is to use "nc -l -u -p 4729 >/dev/null" to create a
process that listens on UDP port 4729 and sends all packets to
/dev/null.

I've recently added a gsmtap_sink to libosmocore.  Once we use this from
our various projects like OsmocmBB, there will be no need for any of
those kludges anymore.
