  Modified files:
    sys/net              route.c 
  Log:
  Fix a route table leak in rtalloc() and rtalloc_ign().  It is
  possible for ro->ro_rt to be non-NULL even though the RTF_UP flag
  is cleared.  (Example: a routing daemon or the "route" command
  deletes a cloned route in active use by a TCP connection.)  In that
  case, the code was clobbering a reference to the routing table
  entry without decrementing the entry's reference count.
  
  The splnet() call probably isn't needed, but I haven't been able
  to prove that yet.  It isn't significant from a performance standpoint
  since it is executed very rarely.
