One more data point: on the Quagga machine, my ISP is seeing this:
# ip -6 route show | grep 2a00:14b0:4200:32xx

^C

This make no sense, does it?  My machines don=E2=80=99t run rtadvd; I =
believe the bridge is not actively using (R)STP, nor is there any active =
routing protocol.  Why Quagga would try to (and succeed) install tens of =
copies of seemingly identical routes is beyond me.
