Strangeness in OSPF

Having a rather odd OSPF problem:
I have an OR-U 204.141.7.33 that is connected to a PM2-E with a 5 BRI
204.141.0.45. I have a RADIUS line of: Framed-Route: "204.141.7.32/27
204.141.7.33 1" a show route on that machine shows:
204.141.7.32 27 204.141.7.33 temp NS 1 ptp31
204.141.7.33 32 204.141.7.33 local HL 1 ptp31

and show ospf links shows:
204.141.7.32 204.141.0.45 0x80000558 No Yes 280 27
204.141.7.33 204.141.0.45 0x8000056a No Yes 280 32

However, when I look at another Livingston machine's frame route I
get:
204.141.7.32 27 204.141.0.111 ospf/E2 ND 2 ether0

And from 204.141.0.1 a Cisco 4500, I get:
Routing entry for 204.141.7.32 255.255.255.224
Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 2, type extern 2, forward
metric 10
Redistributing via ospf 1
Last update from 204.141.0.111 on Ethernet0, 04:06:04 ago
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* 204.141.0.111, from 204.141.0.45, 04:06:04 ago, via Ethernet0
Route metric is 2, traffic share count is 1

This machine 204.141.0.111 isn't active, and the IP address hasn't
been used for some time, when it was in use it was the router for
another portion of the 204.141.7.0 subnets, but not 204.141.7.32.
This has gotten me completely baffled, anyone ever hear of anything
like this?
