I don't really remember the details (I didn't pay very close attention to
the issue at the time, since I don't generally use the HTTP admin
interface). About all I remember is that router tables, and possibly
blacklists, were being truncated when updating them through the web
interface and there was more than a certain amount of data being sent. I do
recall that it was fixed at some point prior to 1.8b8, although I don't
remember exactly when or how.
