I found out why this is. At startup, all peers are dead. Then after
some time all peers are _reported_ to be alive for a certain period.
Then they are dead again.

It has to do with something that I traced back to neighbors.c, and
then I found out what caused it: I never queried any neighbors at all.

Indeed, I had an "always_direct allow cisnet" where "cisnet" is
my local network .. but ofcourse you need to define that as
a "dst" ACL, not a "src" ACL :/

The output from "peer cache statistics" could be improved though;
if it had told me none of the peers were ever queried I would have
found the solution a lot earlier.
