there was a bug for http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129913127722786&w=2
but looking I see something in there with recv.c not route.c but 
probably something
same or in the same vacinity. as for the sluggishness I have been 
noticing the system doing so, but
never saw anything like the above, so if it is your WARN_ON then kudos 
to you!
