That was exactly my thought, the notifications in question provide
a pid of 0 for their IPv4 counterparts therefore I considered it
safe.
However, I changed IPv4 addresses to provide the pid and support
NLM_F_ECHO and the same will follow for IPv6 address notifications
which will mean that quagga sees a different set of IPv4 address
notifications. It would be a bug on their side if that would cause
failure though.
