[Click] Hex addresses in lineariplookup messages

Hello,

We noticed that LinearIPLookup generates an error message with hex addresses 
in it when no route can be found, e.g.:
LinearIPLookup: no gw for 301a8c0
Why is there no translation to a string there? I know the conversion to string 
is easy so I guess there must be a reason for it.
Another remark: why does the element kill the packet itself? Why doesn't it 
push out the packet e.g. to generate ICMP error messages?
