Joe,

	Typically, a broadcast storm that is a "real problem" is one
in which the broadcast message goes around and around.

	As we are positing that a "hello" message seen on a different
interface than the one it was sent on is an indication of a loop, 
we are also assuming (I hope) that this is the only broadcast that
should be handled by RBridges until loop-free forwarding has been
determined.  It would be a fairly lame RBridge that 1) saw a "hello" 
message that it originated and reforwarded it irrespective of what 
interface it receives it on.
