Very strange thing?!?

After runnig for some time, a very strange thing happened to my Bird
daemon. I'm using Bird to do BGP anouncing to my 2 peers.

At one moment the BGP session with one of the peers was lost, and
when Bird tried to reconect it tried on a wrong IP address. 
The IP address is totaly unknown to me.

I had luck I was at the place when this happened and I restarted
BIRD, and everything went fine. What can be the reason for this
behaviour? Is it a bug in BIRD.

I'm using Bird-1.0.5, kernel 2.2.18, glibc-2.1, redhat-6.2

This is the relevant part of the log file:
