I forgot where we were going with this....  In in_ifadownkill(), where
it says:

        if (rt->rt_ifa == ap->ifa && !(rt->rt_flags & RTF_STATIC)) {
                err = rtrequest(RTM_DELETE, (struct sockaddr *)rt_key(rt),
                                rt->rt_gateway, rt_mask(rt), rt->rt_flags, 0);
                if (err) {
                        log(LOG_WARNING, "in_ifadownkill: error %d\n", err);
                }
        }

You might try adding the following before the call to rtrequest():

		/*
		 * We need to disable the automatic prune that happens
		 * in this case in rtrequest() because it will blow
		 * away the pointers that rn_walktree() needs in order
		 * continue our descent.  We will end up deleting all
		 * the routes that rtrequest() would have in any case,
		 * so that behavior is not needed there.
		 */
		rt->rt_flags &= ~RTF_PRCLONING;


All this RTF_PRCLONING stuff really sucks, and is due for a complete
rewrite from the top.  Maybe if I can take some time off this holiday
break...
