Turns out that we had a /sbin/ifup-local that deleted all the routes 
including default gw and populated the route afresh.

route del default gw ...
ip route | grep -v scope | awk '{print $1}' | while read route; do ip 
route flush $route; done

This worked fine with fib_hash, but breaks with fib_trie. I'll 
investigate why this was done and look for a workaround if possible.
