My mistake about the 20 versus 40! However, without knowing any
contradictory information about the way mtr works, my speculation still
stands. I realised it was possible that the routes were undergoing
changes, or lns2 was sending back some message like "I think that route
sucks, so don't bother". But my initial inclination was nevertheless to
think that it was an mtr display issue. I guess we need to hear back
from someone who has "seem it before" with that mode of mtr.
