Hi,

 Here is a patch from KAME to fix a double-free bug when

I don't think it is a problem for our routing code to call rtrequest(RTM_DELETE) with
a NULL return route for the last parameter.  Are we talking about a recursive call
from rtfree() to rtfree() or from rtfree() back to rtrequest()?  A stack trace
showing the problem would help illustrate the problem for me.  Thanks.
