Hey Pouria,

This commit causes /sbin/route to crash. I will work on getting a core
dump this weekend. Reverting this commit made /sbin/route happy again.
I just figured I'd send the email now while I'm thinking about it.

Note that I'm using HardenedBSD, so the core dump might be a little
bit different than one generated by FreeBSD.

Thanks,
