I've seen this too; kernel pre2.0.13, diald 0.14 (just upgraded from
0.10 as that didn't work well with the new kernle), ppp 2.2.0e and
2.2.0f (tried upgrading to see if that solved it), libc 5.2.18.
Talking to MST PPP on a Sunos 4.1.3 box at work. My /sbin/route is
from Debian's netbase 2.03-1 package, couldn't say offhand what
upstream version that represents.

More interestingly I backed off to 1.3.68 and stopped seeing these
messages. Has the kernel interface used by route(8) changed at all
recently?
