Is Quagga still incorrectly using 0.0.0.0/8 to select a multicast source 
interface by index?

If so this is a Quagga issue and needs to be fixed there, not in the 
kernel, as this behaviour has now been deprecated and should not have 
been relied on.
Quagga will have to be patched to explicitly select an interface using 
the appropriate ioctls (see my routed patches).

If not, this is a separate issue and will need to be analysed as such.

Was the need for a 224/4 route resolved by my patch? If so I will commit 
it -- this is the issue the patch was intended to fix.

regards,
BMS
