[44net] Incomplete table with ampr-ripd

Greetings Marius and all,
Just over a week ago, I finally compiled and installed ampr-ripd 1.13 on my
gateway firewall / router, a Slackware 13.1 with 2.6.33.4-grsec-smp
(home-rolled Grsecurity kernel). Compilation and execution seems to work just
fine, but I get an incomplete AMPRnet routing table (currently only about 30
routes).
Ideas what could be preventing me from getting a full routing table? Any place
besides the usual logging locations where I could find some clues? Debugging
arguments, perhaps?
You may have some systematic packet loss along the route to your system.
I experienced some problems some time ago (although not as severe as you describe)
and I changed EXPTIME from 600 to 7200 in the source.
That helps when there is occasional packet loss. Of course when there is systematic loss
due to a very small queue at some point, it will not help much.
