Maybe someone will figure out how to do a scons configure test for
this and tell user's about the problem an likely cure before starting
the compile!

Using the old config file should be fine for everything but vrrp,
which I changed slightly to need a subnet mask for it's 'ip'.

Do you still see linux command-line tools blocked on the console?  If
so, I still think its a kernel bug.

Can you configure xorp_rtrmgr to log to a file and send me the entire
file?  I'm curious if there are any errors in there.
