Thank you!

The bit I had neglected to mention (as the bug report suggested it was a problem with the local route table) was that we are re-distributing routes using openbgpd.  I have confirmed that the openbgpd code has no concept of this reference counting and simply removes the route from the table that is being sent out.  

Sorry for the noise - I should have spotted that myself :(
