Strange/ghost routes from AS 33? (Was: Re: [6bone] SUNET announcing ALL IPv6 routes)

Well, all I think of is that if there's one problem, it's 
best not to take chances with other problems. They "should" 
be at least keeping up with the list, but they also "should" 
not be running an ancient version of zebra .. if you can see
where I'm coming from here ;-) (I'm not trying to implicate 
anyone with that, just taking an example.)

Anyway.  I'd simply suggest to Cc: listed contact for the ASN 
when sending mail to the list regarding it- that way one can 
be sure that it's being seen. (Well, maybe mail to that address 
isn't being read, but.. maybe world will explode tomorrow, you
can only have so much fault-tolerance ;-)

Having said that, I am Cc'ing this mail to the listed contact 
for AS33 (DEC-WRL-ASN, Digital Equipment Corporation.) It seems 
we have a lot of ghost routes in our bgp table, which seem to 
originate from AS33:

24643 6830 2012 6939 2497 33 10318 12199 145 7580 10566 5408 2549 109 5539 8379 1275 8002 1654

                6939 2497 33 10318 12199 145 7580 10566 5408 2549 109 5539 8379 1275 8002 1654
          24765 3320  293 33 10318 12199 145 7580 10566 5408 2549 109 5539 8379 1275 8002 1654
                          33 10318 12199 145 7580 10566 5408 2549 109 5539 8379 1275 8002 1654

Can you possibly shed any light on this, given today's discussion
about it on the list (particularly with reference to router software
in use at this speaker)? They seem to have appeared after the invalid
routes from AS 1654 were withdrawn earlier.
