I believe we are experiencing almost the same thing on MIDNET,
which is organized as a ring of 12 p4200s.  If you telnet to one
of the p4200s and watch the error log (t 2), you can see RIP
routes time out and then, a few seconds later, an update comes
along for the same route.  I believe it is some sort of timing
problem, that is, RIP updates are not happening often enough.
I must confess, though, that I have never really mastered RIP,
so if I'm all wet, please send flames to /dev/null.
