Yes, I believe this is the issue. Previously, the first interface
that is UP was used to originate the Cand-RP-Adv message to the BSR.
There is no strong justification about this particular choice, so I
just committed some changes to CVS to use instead the RPF interface
toward the BSR.

Please check-out the lastest code from CVS and see whether you still
have the issue. Make sure you are using the following files:
