Well, currently other apps such as dhcpcd still log an error when the routing 
socket overflows but a more helpful message.

I think we can just change it to:
   routing socket overflowed - will update interfaces

Happy with that?

To alleviate the issue we could also stop ntpd from listening to routing changes 
has that has no bearing on how it discovers interfaces and addresses as far as i 
can tell.
Frank ok with that?
