er... 'parm me sir, but aren't -all- ASNs 4 bytes?
i mean, for lo these many years we cheated and only used the first two bytes... but the spec always called out four bytes.
There seems to be a bug in my router:
router(config)#router bgp 196641 ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
router(config)#
Do you know of anyone I could call who can fix this?

your using the wrong protocol.. :) or the wrong version of a vendors code. try EGP and you should be fine w/ 4byte ASNs.
rfc 827, page 3: Autonomous systems will be assigned 16-bit identification numbers (in much the same ways as network and protocol numbers are now assigned), and every EGP message header contains one word for this number. -r
