There is a bug in the rtsock.c or route.c kernel code.
The system will not accept a cmd of the form:
  route add -iface host -link dev(unit):ether_addr

I walked through the route utility:  it seems to send
the correct cmd to the routing socket, but the kernel
locks up.  We had this problem
in early 4.4 code and we fixed it, but I don't remember
what we did.  I'll look for our fix.  Meanwhile, if
anyone has fixed this...  (Our BSDI systems work fine,
but they may have our fix in the kernel.)

Thanks,
