Aaand... the problem turns out to be operator error.
When I installed 10.6.1 I forgot to restart frr, so now frr 10.3 was
still running but 10.6.1 was installed. When the same bgpd problem as
before showed up and bgpd crashed due to some kind of problem with one
of my peers watchfrr tried to start the 10.6.1 version of bgpd, which
can't talk to the 10.3 version of zebra, and so crashed, causing
watchfrr to restart it again, and...
Should installing a new version of frr force a restart? Or produce a
big warning message? Or did it produce a big warning message that I
ignored?
