Now I've hit it with rt->n = 2000000000000010. So I'm starting to
think this is getting passed in directly from userspace somehow, as
these values look like the output of my 'set a few random bits' routine
that sometimes gets called for params.

I'm having trouble mapping a corrupt sendmsg parameter to a messed up rt->n though.

Any clues ?
