As "Snob Art" pointed out, you don't get a core if the UID bit is set.

Why are you running routed ? Are you getting any RIP packets from
anywhere ? Try disabling routed altogether. If this doesn't help,
can you post your config files ? The only time I've seen this sort
of thing is when you've got a default route to a router that keeps
sending back redirects for everything you want to talk to - but your
default route above is correct. There's no reason for the extra
routes.
