As you noticed, xorp.ct is newer than 1.7 even..contains lots of my fixes
especially related to virtualization and bugs I found while implementing
our network emulator and virtual router system.

I know my code pretty well, can test it, and feel comfortable debugging it.

I don't have nearly that confidence on older xorp code, which is the main
reason why I don't offer to debug or fix it.

Thanks,
Ben
