This is the documented behavior.  ``netstat -r'' does not anymore show
cloned routes by default unless -a is given, see manpage for details.
Previously, only protocol-cloned routes were hidden from a normal
output.  Now both protocol-cloned and cloned routes are not shown.
There was the reason for this change in -CURRENT, but for -STABLE it
was certainly premature.  I don't have an idea why DES did this.  DES?

I have a question for Garrett.  Was the original idea behind -a flag is
to hide protocol-cloned routes only but not RTF_CLONING generated routes,
or it was simply caused by the bug that `rt_parent' was not set for
routes generated from RTF_CLONING parent, as documented in rtentry(9)?

If the behavior of netstat(1) is to be restored, the following patch
will DTRT:
