AS0 in AS path

Fri Aug 6 22:10:36 UTC 2010

  Thanks everyone.

Answer is simple - 4byte ASN's.
I was parsing Route Views RIB-IN tables, and found that, by default,  
Quagga is using 4byte AS length field to store 2-byte and 4-byte AS Numbers.
So, using 2 bytes length in parser, I had wierd output like "0 3549 0 
1239" and so on.
