Thanks for your reply. I was thinking about collecting information but
again I couldn't find the right commands to get something readable.
"show ospf4 database" isn't precisely easy to read (not to me at
least - any other command useful for troubleshooting OSPF?)
Then I tried a work-around on the Zebra box (make the interface passive in
OSPF) but that was taking me nowhere. To do this I had to restart Zebra
and... it made the problem go away :-( or is it :-)?
Anyway, I couldn't get the information anymore.

I would think the same and I see that your bug # dates from March
already, still new. Guess that means that it hasn't been fixed in the
CVS code either, or has it?

Well, I'll wait until this happens up again and collect the whole
OSPF database this time.

Greets,
