Why is routed added a default route pointing to the local machine ?

Before routed is run, the local routing table looks like this :

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.10.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        5 eth0
172.17.6.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        2 eth1
172.17.7.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        1 eth2
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         10.10.0.9       0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        3 eth0

After routed starts, the tail of the routing table looks like this :

210.10.23.0     10.10.0.2       255.255.255.0   UG    2      0        0 eth0
130.2.0.0       10.10.0.2       255.255.0.0     UG    1      0        0 eth0
172.31.0.0      172.17.6.2      255.255.0.0     UG    1      0        1 eth1
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        3 lo
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         10.10.0.9       0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        8 eth0

That new default route pointing to the local machine kinds screws things up.

I ran routed with a filename parameter for logging.  I can see the route being
added near the top of the file, right after routed starts.  This makes me
think that the route isn't a dynamic one ...
