Stuck routing information sources in EIGRP

Hi all,

Just wanted to see if anyone can provide some info on the following.  After executing "show ip protocols" on cisco 6509 i have noticed that EIGRP shows routing information sources from sources that are invalid for weeks!  I wanted to know how long does EIGRP hold on to such info.  If the source is no longer available, shouldn't that source be flushed?  Below is an example of what i'm asking about, please note that this is just an example and not an output taken from the 6509 in questions.

rt-Internet#show ip protocols

Routing Protocol is "eigrp 1"
  Outgoing update filter list for all interfaces is not set
  Incoming update filter list for all interfaces is not set
  Default networks flagged in outgoing updates
  Default networks accepted from incoming updates
  EIGRP metric weight K1=1, K2=0, K3=1, K4=0, K5=0
  EIGRP maximum hopcount 100
  EIGRP maximum metric variance 1
  Redistributing: eigrp 1
  EIGRP NSF-aware route hold timer is 240s
  Automatic network summarization is not in effect
  Maximum path: 4
  Routing for Networks:
    10.0.0.0
    192.168.250.0
  Routing Information Sources:
    Gateway         Distance      Last Update
    192.168.250.6         90      00:00:10
  Distance: internal 90 external 170

On the production 6509 i can see "last update" from weeks ago, and on top of that, those sources are no longer valid, they have been removed.

Any info is appreciated.

I believe it's either a BUG or your EIGRP is configured this way.

Give us: show ip eigrp neighbors show ip protocols show ip eigrp topology
