Possible bug in pre-2.0.10

I have received this message twice now since switching to pre-2.0.10 from
pre-2.0.6

Jun 2 16:23:04 seen kernel: icmp: ICMP redirect ignored.
dest = 84F1F813, orig gw = C0A80102, "new" gw = 800A0C10, device = lo.

This is given after the PPP connection (to SLiRP) locks up and I attempt
to ping the host I am connected to.

The second time I received it I had just finished a game of Netrek using
an UDP connection. I attempted to call up the Netrek Metaserver without
any window popping up (it is expected). I then ping the remote host
SLiRP is running on and find ping is not working.

I am running ppp-2.2.0f and libc-5.3.12.

I am assuming the message above is the result of something failing in the
kernel concerning the network.

P.S. If more info is needed, feel free to ask.
