I git bisected the problem to this commit:

commit 3630b7c050d9c3564f143d595339fc06b888d6f3
Author: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

ipv4: Remove fib_hash.

which came in via 2.6.39.

Looks like the problem I'm running into falls into this bucket (since it 
goes away if I revert the commit).

I changed the pr_debug() in fib_trie.c to pr_info() and got some debug 
output (attached).

Based on the debug info, I think it's this call that's failing with ESRCH:

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
