[Xorp-users] xorp ospf endless loop problem?

Hello

I have simple environment with four routers R1-R4, tested with xorp 1.3 and 
cvs version from Jan 22. I am running RHEL4 ES. 

I have had some problems with ospf, sometimes when I reboot one router (let's 
say R1), other router (R2) just loops ospf related messages forever. I can 
see that xorp eats 99% of the cpu. Problem goes away if I restart xorp from 
R2.

Is there any known problems with xorp's ospf, could my problem be know one? 

Regards

        vif eth0 {
          address 10.0.1.2
        }
