If a router on the computer's LAN is issuing ICMP redirect messages
rather than just forwarding the packets to the correct router,  the
computer will most likely install a /32 route to the destination
IP aimed at the suggested nexthop from the ICMP redirect message.

Happens most often when you have multiple routers on a network or
the computer has the wrong default route.  You never notice it until
you restructure the network...  Then all those stale routes bite.
