I think there is a senderr() function call in the handle__link_failure function. If it is decided that the route can not be repaired, and if the packet is freed than a route error is sent to the original node to prevent the intermediate nodes and the source node to use that route again. It must be, otherwise the source and intermediate nodes will try to use that "failed" route for a while... until the route timer expires...
