In particular anything that prints route metrics or tries to deal with them will barf :-(. Though I like this change, the interface change is going to cause me and probably many other users great pains on all the boxes we just upgraded to 3.2-STABLE or 3.2-RELEASE. I would like to ask this be backed out until 3.3-RELEASE. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc.
