Public bug reported:

Retrieving information about configured neighbors fail 
my application is running the following procedure:

neigh = NULL;
cache = rtnl_neigh_alloc_cache(sk);
while(NULL == neigh){
    nl_cache_refill(sk, chache);
    neigh = rtnl_neigh_get(cache, ifindex, dst_addr);
}

with libnl3 3.2.21-1 this loop will never end, even when adding a static arp 
entry.
However, with libnl-3.2.24 the neighbor lookup succeed.
