[c-nsp] OSPF's handling of secondary IP addresses on subinterfaces

Yes, I'm actually seeing one subinterface with a secondary address
have both the primary and secondary address subnets advertised into
OSPF and another have only the primary advertised. Very strange.
Suppose it's worth trying redistribute connected... thanks for the
tip.

Is this expected behavior or a bug?
