Not knowingly.  So that's where the info is stored, I assume.
Looking through my backups, I see that permvars.file went from 4mb on
10/15 to 400kb on 10/16, so that probably explains what happened.
Should I restore one of the older larger files?  I suspect not.

I seem to recall some administrative mail coming from my server in
the last day or two dealing with routing tables, I believe.  Hadn't
seen this in very long time.  Did anything come from the backbone
that might have affected this?
