Subject: Latest iproute2 breaks "ip route get" command

Good morning.

The following logs should explain the problem. In short, the "ip route
get" command with iproute2 v. 2.6.35 does not output anything (and
exits with a 0). This breaks (for example) vpnc.

If I use iproute2 v. 2.6.34 everything is OK. This is with a 2.6.35 kernel.

Note: this happens not only using the default Archlinux package but
also if I download and compile the sources.

Please let me know if you need more details.

Best regards,
Fabio
