Note your table 42 is a blackhole.  I suspect that using 'suppress_prefixlength
0' is acting differently than you expect - you've told it to use table 42 which
has only a blackhole, and when it suppresses that route, there is no *other*
route in table 42 to select - leaving you with a 'no route' situation.  I don't
think it's supposed to make the 'lookup ffnet' part go away, only entries *IN*
that table that are longer than specified (which for 0 means "all of them").
