[HECnet] dnroute segfaults when starting Multinet...

    I've used Linux DECnet successfully with local Ethernet connections, but
now I'm trying to set up a Multinet link and dnroute segfaults every time I
start the Multinet link.   Of course, Multinet may have nothing to do with it
- all the hosts in on my local network are in the same area and so when
Multinet starts it's also the first time dnroute ever sees another level 2
routing node. 

  The host is Debian/Lenny -

	bob at ziti:~$ uname -a
	Linux ziti 2.6.29.3-ziti.4 #1 Sun Nov 7 20:38:06 PST 2010 i586
GNU/Linux

The dnprogs package is v2.44

	bob at ziti:~$ /usr/sbin/dnroute -V
	dnroute from dnprogs version 2.44

The /etc/default/decnet file says

	bob at ziti:~$ cat /etc/default/decnet
	# DECnet configuration for ZITI - RLA [8-Nov-2010]
	DNET_INTERFACES="eth0"
	DNET_DAEMONS="dnetd dnroute"
	dnroute_FLAGS="-v -2"
	ROUTING=2
	PRIORITY=16

(Note that Multinet is not started in here - for the time being, I'm
starting it manually...)

	ziti:/home/bob# ps aux | grep -i dnroute
	root           2993   0.0   0.2     1672     548 ?               Ss     10:42     0:00
/usr/sbin/dnroute -v -2

	ziti:/home/bob# dnetinfo
	Addr                                       Dev

	2.16             ziti!               lo	

	ziti:/home/bob# multinet 2.16 192.108.200.211 &
	using tun device tap0
	Remote address = 59.58 (60474)

	ziti:/home/bob# dmesg | grep -i dnroute

error 4 in dnroute[8048000+6000]

  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?   Hopefully it's something easy :-)

Thanks,
Bob Armstrong
