Sure.  Which logs would you like, for when I reproduce this?  (There
will be a lot of log entries; too much to send to the list.  Who would
like them?)

Oh, well.  Trouble is, the competition consists of, that I can find:

- zebra/quagga, which is a bit on the heavy side code-size-wise, to
  say the least, and

- gated, which has license problems.

The pattern I found is: They're negative, while they should be
positive (and match `arp -an | grep -v static | wc -l`).

Ehm, no.  Running a different routing daemon, e.g. gated, works; it's
not what I'd rather do in the long run, though.
