Max-prefix won't catch a neighbour router going haywire and announcing
"0 prefixes" all of a sudden... and yes, we're occasionally observing
this on our peerings, so this is something we really want to check for.
(I'm fairly happy with "show ip b su", so no need for a SNMP OID, at
least, not for us).
