Thanks for the report.  I posted patches to fix these bugs:
        https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-February/328410.html
        https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-February/328411.html

If you have a chance to try out the patches, it would be nice, but I'm
pretty confident in them.
