Prior to the rip44d fix, the problem was rip44d-based
routers would only have
44.182.21.0 (a single IP address, /32) in their table, instead of
44.182.21.0/24 (which references 44.182.21.1-44.182.21.254). Therefore,
Marius and I couldn't ping each other because I did not have a route for the
IPs 44.182.21.1-254.
Just to clarify a little bit, the bug was introduced to rip44d in git
commit ba0912e305 (Feb 25, 2012, "Fixed to use prefix length / CIDR format
when calling /sbin/ip"). Previous versions of rip44d didn't have it, and
there are a bunch of people happily running older versions which are fine.

Stupid, embarrassing bug nonetheless. :)
