Some usages of rtnl_send could cause errors (ie flush requests)
others do a listen afterwards.

This fixes the problem where a bulk operation (like ip flush)
is performed as non-root user. The kernel will only send a response
if there is an error, so check for it.
If there is a problem talking to kernel, don't retry except in the
special case of signal or -EAGAIN

Updated patch, added your netmask validation code but without the check
that made 0.0.0.0 (default) and 255.255.255.255 (one address) invalid
netmasks as they are permitted in CIDR format.

The problem was that length of allocation changed but caller not told.
Anyway, the patch fixes a problem resulting in a double free
that occurs when using batch files that contains a special combination
of broken up lines and comments as reported in:

Enable users of ip to specify the times for rtt, rttvar and rto_min
in human-friendly terms a la "tc" while maintaining backwards
compatability with the previous "raw" mechanism. Builds upon
David Miller's uncommited patch to set rto_min.

In order to support these new flags add current
linux/if.h into the directory with the local copies.
This caused troubles with outdated redefinitions from net/if.h
so I've removed the dependency on it.

[IPROUTE]: Add support for larger number of routing tables
Support support for 2^32 routing tables by using the new RTA_TABLE
attribute for specifying tables > 255 and intepreting it if it is
sent by the kernel.
When tables > 255 are used on a kernel not supporting it an error will
occur because of the unknown netlink attribute.

(050929) version of 'ip addr' hangs while older versions worked.
The problem was traced to be a removed initialisation. The patch
below corrects this problem.
