problem with 'ip rule show' and table_id >256

during switch-over from 'ifconfig' to 'ip' in the
OpenWrt project, we recognized that there es an
behaviour change compared to the full 'iproute2'
when using 'ip rule show' with numbers > 256 in
/etc/iproute2/rt_tables - see https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20650

the problem is in
networking/libiproute/rt_names.c
where this file is parsed. the id must
IMHO be a number from/including 0-32767

any opinions about that?

thank you - bye, bastian
