Specifically, this change causes the problem:
- req.r.rtm_scope = RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE;
+ if (RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE != 0)
+ req.r.rtm_scope = RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE;
RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE is zero, so req.r.rtm_scope isn't being initialised.
There are a number of similar constructs in this code, where the value
of an enum is tested against zero. I've no idea why.
