I missed that.  I guess Andrew had taken the AS into account.  This
doesn't help his attached customers with their own AS.  Now all we
need is the machinery in the shell program to avoid resubmitting the
same thing every day and to withdraw the route (resubmit the route
object as withdrawn) when components haven't been seen in a very long
time (for some value of very long).  I think Steve agreed to let me
write this and make it available since it shouldn't take long at all.
I'll probably get to it before May 8.
