I'm running 4.9, not -current. I didn't see anything about people having this issue in the mailing lists. I see that there was a patch applied only about 15 minutes ago to something else related to ospfd, I'm not sure what new issues will occur if I go to -current here since this box is in production. My current workaround plan is to eliminate OpenOSPFD from my network. Fortunately it's just one box for now but I was hoping to add several others in the next few weeks. * Can a reliability fix errata be created for this? * Is the same bug in ospf6d? --Chris
