There is still some window where things go wrong now, I fear. If we have ecmp
routes active and we update the pmtu of that rt6_info, we might end up with a
route in the ecmp set, which might not get recountet if another ecmp route
joins the set. I will have to think how to deal with this. Do you have an
idea?

Thanks,

  Hannes
