PM2E routing table filling up under ComOS 3.1.3?

[This is from memory and may not be completely accurate, but th
gist of it is correct.]

We have a Livingston PM2E with 30 ports running ComOS 3.1.3. There
are 130 location table entries in the PM2E, all used every day in an
essentially round robin fashion.

Everything was working fine when we had ~100 entries in the table, but
now, with 130 entries in the table, we run into a routing problem
with any entry above a certain point, which appears to be associated
with pty126 in the routing table.

Attempts to ping these locations will result in ICM Source Unreachable
and traceroute shows the route bouncing between the PM and the router
just before the PM.

If you dial the location from the PM, pings and traceroutes will work
as long as you hold the connection open manually.

Flushing the routing table and rebooting the PM result in the same problem.

Any thoughts on the source of the problem and the solution? Will going
to 3.1.4 solve the problem? (One of the first things to try on Monday
morning.)

Thanks!
