Well, I was wondering what really needs kroutes around and it turns out 
I think it can be removed safely.
I've created a new branch, rbtree-memory with the prior patch in and the 
above done.
It seems to work and valgrind doesn't report any leaks.

How is the memory usage looking now with your million routes?
If it's lower, could you add -DRT_FREE_ROUTE_TABLE to your CPPFLAGS, 
clean and compile, and see how that then affects matters?
