    Jim, the sr10.2 version of routed is not "broken" as in 10.1.  10.1 routed was
  prematurely aging routes (metric 16) and therefore, you would loose the route to 
  the destination.  10.2's routed would cause an access violation if invoked as
  /etc/routed -t (with no filename).  It worked fine in every other way.

That's not my experience, and it contradicts the patch release notes.  I
don't remember what the sr10.1 routed did, but the sr10.2 routed certainly
used to forget at least some routes.

     1.36  Patch m0108 /etc/routed

     Patch m0108 includes fixes to the /etc/routed command for nodes run-
     ning the SR10.2 version of Domain/OS. This patch is incompatible with
     all other versions of Domain/OS.

     Patch m0108 fixes the following problem (DDC72):

     The /etc/routed command was timing out active interfaces.  routed has
     been modified to prevent it from timing out and thus marking "down"
     interfaces that are configured "up". It does, however, time out inter-
     faces which have been configured "down" via /etc/ifconfig.

     Install patch m0108 on nodes running the SR10.2 version of Domain/OS
     (use the bldt command to determine the revision of the operating sys-
     tem running on your workstation).

     Patch m0108 includes the following file:
