If you can reproduce the bgp issues on xorp.ct (which should become xorp 1.8-WIP release as
soon as we can get 1.7 out the door), I am interested in seeing logs, core-files, etc
and will attempt to fix them.  I don't have interest in messing with 1.6, however.

I fixed a few crashes in bgp lately in xorp.ct, and it mostly passes the
test harness scripts, but there could be more issues for sure.
