(usagi-users 00686) Updating address lifetime (again)

[Alakoski Teemu <alakoski@xxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't get any answers last time, so I'll try once more. There was also
a little mistake with lifetimes:

If I specify a valid lifetime of 7300 seconds or more on router, address
lifetimes on hosts is updated nicely every time new RA arrives.

But if valid lifetime is 7200 seconds or less, lifetimes on hosts just
decrease towards zero. Finally when zero (preferred lifetime) is reached,
new lifetimes are updated from incoming RA. But again RAs are not accepted
until preferred lifetime is zero and so on...

I didn't test what is the exact time when behaviour change. But it is
between 7300 and 7200 seconds.

This happends at least with usagi-20010806-linux24 and with
linux24-2.4.9-usagi-20010817.patch.

What can cause this?
Any ideas?
