Vijay,

I am not defending IOS bugs or any particular implementation - I am
defending the architecture.

It isn't quite the individuals who are having problems maintaining a single
RIB with IGP routes, it looks like the software is having trouble keeping
its sanity. Seeing that it took ~ 12 months to track down some iBGP
withdrawl bugs and a single fence post error in an AS path sanity check
took down a significant portion of the internet, I suggest perhaps one must
first put ones own house in order before going out and throwing stones at
others.

thanks
