May be that's a feature, not a bug, as Alexey stated. If som it's
certainly a Linux-only feature.

I tried the same thing on a Sun running Solaris, an RS6000 running AIX
and, of course our Alpha Server with DigitalUNIX V4.0d. At least the
latter machine runs a lot of address families (IP, IPX, DECnet).
__NONE__ of them accepts the above double-route feature, so i still
consider this a Linux bug.
