Seems likely, then, that these are due to TCP connections that were
open when the machine rebooted.  Presumably you only see RTM_LOSING
for a particular machine while it's rebooting, and then the connection
gets reset.

It's fairly obvious that an RTM_LOSING for a local host is not something
that routed should complain about; I'll take a look at the code.
