Funny this came up now - One of my core routers failed last night with 
the identical problem. The route cache was set to 131k routes, although 
I couldn't get a sh prompt on the box even once the switch ports were 
down... Had to sysrq-b it.

I'm running 2.6.11-rc1-bk8 right now on those boxes. 20ish day uptime 
until yesterday and handling around 12Mbit of traffic. 'route -Cn | wc 
-l' right now shows around 29k routes cached. I cranked the route cache 
up to 1m entries, but I figure that's probably excessive.
