This bug also exists in Breezy (fresh installation with apt-get dist-upgrade).
This bug should be easy reproduced with

ip -s -s neigh flush dev eth0

The loop never ends. Please see Comment #3 to see the answer and the changes
from Stephen Hemminger. I think the Debian/Ubuntu version of the iproute package
ist too old and doesn't contains the changes. This patch prevents the command to
loop endless. This is very bad if using the Firewall Builder, because the
Firewall Builder creates a script, which do this flush command and never ending.

Thanks
Herbert Straub
