The expression (BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_EXT ||BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_NSSA) will always evaluate to 1. As well, neither of these constants are defined as flag values, so a bitwise op was probably not intended either.
Commit log for packet-bgp.c in Ethereal shows that this code originated from Aamer Akhter, and was later ported to tcpdump by Hannes Gredler. I have already received notice from Hannes that he has committed a fix: http://cvs.tcpdump.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/tcpdump/print-bgp.c Below is my attempt to fix the code in Ethereal. Is it correct?
