[Babel-users] babels bug with uninitialized data somewhere?

Sorry, I mean, on the other nodes of the network... (since the route seems announced with that strange source.  Good question: does I allow martian routes to be announced?  And anyway, it should never be authorized in a config file.)

Well, I think there is a bug here, thanks: it seems we use "format_address" instead of "format_eui64" on a 8 bytes buffer.  But this should just change:

Rejecting martian route to ::/0 from ::/128 through a221:b7ff:feac:e456:70:9601::.
Rejecting martian route to ::/0 from ::/128 through a221:b7ff:feac:e456:7b:9601::.
