our mileage varies.

When I run fib-onlink-tests.sh I get:
Tests passed:  38
Tests failed:   0

The said patch does fix a bug with onlink routes and the test cases were
updated in the same patch. I this case you can not mix and match tests
and kernels -- ie., running new tests on older kernel will generate a
failure. I am guessing that is the case here.
