Inconsistency indeed:
anticimex at natalie:~$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv{4,6}/route/max_size
524288
4096
anticimex at natalie:~$ echo 4096*4 | bc
16384

Now this is on a Debian Squeeze 2.6.32-5-686, and I don't know if this
is compile time variables or not.  But it does seem a bit out of sync
(as it should be, just a bit too much out of sync).
