The problem was submitted to the Digital Unix team. A patch that fixes the
mroute code in inet.mod should make it into the jumbo patch for DU4.0d
that will come out this summer. The fix has also been added to the source
pool for 4.0e. If you want to get mrouted working now, you will need to
contact the Customer Support Center and reference CLD HPAQ4123H in order
to get a pre-patch patch.
My thanks to Digital for fixing this.
