I'm looking for reviewers for http://cr.opensolaris.org/~sowmini/routed_fixes/
For those who can't see the bug's evaulation/public comments, the problem is related to the receipt of RTM_LOSING on a machine that has exactly one default route. Considering that - RTM_LOSING could be generated because the very_faraway tcp endpoint has become unresponsive (for non-networking related reasons) and that this can't be interpreted as a failure of the default router, and, moreover, - even if it is a result of the default router becoming unreachable due to network overload, there's not much in.routed can do when there's only one default router (deleting that one default route only worsens the usabilty of the machine) I've added code that will ignore the RTM_LOSING if there's no alternate default router available. while in the neighborhood, I also fixed up the Makefile to be ctf-smart.
