BIRD - iBGP between both RS - invalid NEXT-HOP notification.

Hello,

Unfortunately, I still have no response from anybody. The messages 
continue to come into our logs.
The iBGP session is UP since more than 1 week and till this moment we 
don't have complaints by some member.

But this messages are definitely strange and we would be happy if 
someone may give some advice according to
their experience.

For any questions or need more information & debug, please feel free to 
contact me at anytime.

I really highly appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Best~
