Ok got some packet captures of the invalid update, it looks like
193.5.68.0/23 was being announced and propagated globally with the
leaked confederations in AS4_PATH issue described in PSN-2009-01-200.

What code has the fix for this issue? The PSN doesn't say. Since these 
invalid attributes are now leaking out globally, it might be worth an 
update. :)
