You caught a bug. This code became a bug when we changed from updating
all the entries in the link table to selectively updating the link
table. When all the entries were updated periodically, we would
decrement the age for all the entries and refresh the age only on the
entries that were heard from recently. We don't do such wholesome
periodic updates anymore. Thanks for catching this.
