It uses 1MB as receive buf limit by default (without
increasing /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max it will be limited by less
however) and allows to specify the size manually using "-rcvbuf X"
(-r is already used, so you need to specify at least -rc).
Additionally rtnl_listen() continues on ENOBUFS after printing the
error message.
I experienced an error, if I try to perform a
ip route flush proto 4
with many routes in a complex environment, it
gave me the following error:
Failed to send flush request: Success
Flush terminated
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

This adds capability for iproute2 to send nested attributes to the
kernel, while maintaining backwards compatibility.

(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.
