I tried to reproduce this with Linus's current tree but I cannot.

Here is what I did:

-------------------- hex.c --------------------
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < 0x4200; i++) {
		printf("%04x ", i);
	}
	printf("\n");
	return 0;
}
-------------------- hex.c --------------------
bash$ gcc -o hex hex.c
bash$ for i in $(./hex); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done
bash$

It takes a bit of time to run, but no crash. :-)
