Please don't drop the mailing list. It's hard for me to guess whether this is an issue with ovs-vswitchd or something wrapped around it. To tell the difference, I would start by doing a lower-level start. One way to do that is to run "ps ax|grep ovs-vswitchd" to see the ovs-vswitchd command line, then kill ovs, then restart it by running the full command line you saw before. Another way, that will work if you see --monitor in the OVS command line, is to just kill ovs-vswitchd with a SEGV signal, e.g. "kill -SEGV `cat /var/run/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.pid`".
If you restart OVS one of those ways, do you still see the issue?
