Absolutely... definite bandaid.

This linked post below outlines my suspicions, where things change
after 3.81, and what needs followed up on as far as troubleshooting
collect_dnet_routes and point to point type interfaces.

Thanks for the patch.  I'm sure people will find it useful.  But I
imagine you would acknowledge that it is just a bandaid which covers
up the issue a little.  Fixing the underlying problem would be far
preferable, as most users aren't going to know enough to use -e
anyway.  If 3.81 worked properly, one would think we could get 4.03 to
do so.  So I think I'll wait on this until we see more reports and are
able to get a better idea what is going on.  But in the meantime, it
is good that people who are annoyed by the issue can apply your patch
(hopefully after they have reported it though!)

Cheers,
-F
