I dont think yourt patch guarantees this (you are nuking routes that
may still be actively used) -- i think you may have been lucky so far.
Regardless, this seems to be  an interesting case of fixing what appears
to be a application bug with a kernel patch. Its amazing what you can do
when you have source.

PS:- the fact that you are running 2.2 is useful information that
you left out.
