Re: [LARTC] prio/pref weirdness

[Martin Devera <devik@cdi.cz>]

It is bug I described a year ago. It is due to a bit ... weird
system used in tc filters and u32. There is global table of
all u32 hashed and it is looked up for each filter id - thus 
it will display them over and over ....
You can mitigate it by using "show pref N" so see only part
you are interested in.
