   - I am using PIM sparse mode on all routers

   - I also have statically set the RP to the 192.168.1.1 address.
One config that I had added on these routers that I do not believe I
needed was the ip pim autorp listener command. maybe that was forcing
these routers to join the RP address as if it where running sparse-
dense mode. Since removing this I have not seen this message reoccur.
