Description Joerg Dorchain 1999-12-15 08:59:45 UTC 
When I run gated to do OSPF, it takes some seconds, eats up all main memory
and then leaves a coredump behind.

Meanwhile I used GNU Zebra (www.zebra.org) to do OSPF routing without
problem. I uploaded the rpm to incoming.redhat.com.
Is it an idea to include it instaed or additional to gated in the
distribution?
Comment 1 Joerg Dorchain 2000-01-26 12:01:59 UTC 
I found out that a bug exists in the parser of ospf statement. The workaround is
to carefully rewrite your ospf cluases.
The solution would be to fix the parser of gated.

This should be fixed in 3.5.11-1.
