Hi Ed--

Fair enough...the workaround that I did won't work for you because it's
not possible to aggregate the two ends of the tunnel into a single /127.

Actually I thought the problem was just point-to-point tunnel interfaces
with a prefix length of 128.

I am not sure what to do with your patch (which is what you originally
asked about) since I'm not sure what the correct behavior is in this
case.  In other words, I know something's wrong but I don't know what
the right solution is.

I'm copying suz@ and ume@ to see if either of them might have any
opinion.  (Guys, sorry to bother you but could one of you take a look at
this thread on net@ and comment?  Thanks!)

Bruce.
