Here is an bzip2'd strace from a reboot event (not the same one as
above).  Again, this attaching to the ipv6 olsrd process on the server
at ::407.

The reboot occurs at 02:13:00.  By 02:13:22, the route count has begun
to decline, it bottoms out around 02:13:30, and starts back up at
around 02:13:42.
