I reportted this as a bug shortly after they put RIPv2 unto the Maxen and
Pipelines, and I didn't get back anything useful.

I wish they'd at least _listen_ to 224.0.0.9 if not send to it. Then at
least they wouldn't miss important updates. Sending on the broadcast
address is less of a problem, everyone who needs to picks it up anyway
(plus more!)
